Albedo Space is an American satellite imaging company founded in 2020.

The company is developing a very low Earth orbit satellite which will be able to capture images with a 10 centimeter resolution. It has a facility in Broomfield, Colorado which has enough space for building three or four satellites simultaneously.[1] The company has 50 employees and has raised around $100 million.[2]

The company plans to launch its first satellite in 2025.[1][3] It expects to eventually have a fleet of 24 spacecraft.[2]
