Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) marked the start of its first dedicated satellite capacity through Orbitworks’ Altair constellation on 2 October 2026. It is within a constellation of 10 AI-enabled, multi-sensor satellites assembled and integrated in Abu Dhabi.

Once commissioned, it is expected to let ADFD task satellite imagery, access high-resolution Earth-observation data and use Orbitworks’ digital mission-control platform to monitor development projects, infrastructure and environmental conditions across multiple countries. Full operational service is not reported.
