BRIEF
Announced
Safran’s Seeing230 optical payload for Marble's satellite constellation

The task
Marble’s future constellation needs very-high-resolution optical payloads for visible and near-infrared imagery, delivered reliably and in the required quantities.
02
What Marble does
Marble procured Safran’s SEEING230 payload for its first satellite, Marble Sat-1. Together, the two companies now work on integrating a new 50 cm GSD payload into the next generation of satellites.
03
Where it stands
The partnership was announced in January 2026. In September 2026, Marble announced the joint work on the 50 cm payload and its intention to open an office in France.
