Reimagining Earth Measurement for the AI Era: L3Harris and Xoople Develop a New Spaceborne Capability

The collaboration reflects a shared belief that the future of Earth intelligence depends on combining uncompromising measurement rigor with modern data infrastructure capable of operating at planetary scale.

At the core of the effort is a satellite constellation designed to deliver data 100x over the gold standard as a persistent measurement layer for the physical world. This capability forms the foundation of what can be described as an Earth’s system of record, a trusted reference framework that enables AI systems to reason about real-world context with far greater accuracy and confidence than is possible today.

Reinventing Precision Earth Monitoring
The collaboration draws heavily on L3Harris’ heritage in precision sensing and integrated space systems. The advanced imaging payloads developed at L3Harris' Rochester, New York, facilities bring a level of optical performance, geospatial accuracy and measurement stability that is essential for AI-ready Earth data infrastructure.

"L3Harris will supply the advanced imaging payloads and integrated systems engineering that form the core of this new Earth observation capability," said Carolyn Cossavella, General Manager, Exquisite Systems, L3Harris. "We're ensuring that the AI systems making tomorrow's critical decisions have access to Earth observation data of uncompromising quality and precision."
