# Vantor Selects CACI and EnduroSat for Pulse Satellites

Vantor has awarded contracts to CACI International and EnduroSat to develop and build the initial Pulse satellite fleet, consisting of 24 to 40 cm-class satellites designed for frequent Earth imaging with revisit times as short as 15 minutes. The program aims to deploy these satellites between 2027 and 2029 to enhance persistent, broad-area monitoring capabilities integrated with Vantor's Tensorglobe spatial intelligence platform. This initiative supports time-sensitive missions including site monitoring, rapid 3D mapping, and national security applications.

- The contract awards mark a significant advancement in commercial satellite imaging, emphasizing rapid revisit rates and integration with AI-driven spatial intelligence platforms.
- Procurement professionals should note the multi-vendor collaboration model, with EnduroSat providing satellite bus and integration services and CACI supplying advanced optical imaging payloads.
- This development signals growing demand for high-resolution, persistent Earth observation capabilities, creating opportunities for contractors specializing in satellite systems engineering, sensor technologies, and data integration.
- Agencies and industry stakeholders can anticipate increased requirements for space-based intelligence solutions supporting both commercial and national security missions, with deployment timelines extending through 2029.

### Key Quotes
> CACI is proud to provide advanced optical imaging payloads that deliver rapid, reliable insight from orbit. Our collaboration with Vantor and EnduroSat enhances timely change detection and supports critical national security operations, reflecting CACI’s commitment to delivering innovative space technologies that meet evolving mission needs.
> — Andreas Nonnenmacher, Senior Vice President of Space, CACI

> The key to Pulse is the systems engineering behind it. We’re designing the fleet to support different sensor types over time and feed that data into Tensorglobe, where it can be brought together with AI and other data sources. Combined with our higher-resolution satellites, that gives customers both the persistence to see change and the detail to understand what matters. Together, they create one of the broadest remote-sensing architectures in the commercial market.
