Thanks to the CE-SAT-1
According to HYPEBEAST, the website works thanks to the company s very own CE-SAT-1, a satellite roughly the size of a wine barrel and weighs around 66 kilograms only.
It was launched into space in 2017.
The satellite is equipped with an EOS 5D Mark III DSLR that is fitted with a 40cm Cassegrain-type 3270mm telescope that is capable of taking snapshots of images that come in at about 36 inches of ground resolution within a 3x2 mile frame when the satellite is at an orbit of 375 miles.
