If you are here for this topic, you are mistaken: we cannot provide satellite imagery, Planet Labs subscriptions, or APIs.
SkyDSL and other "Sky Sat Internet" services
Several French-language articles (echosdunet, geosat.fr, frinet-telecom.fr and others) reference satellite Internet offers under similar names: "SkyDSL", "Sky Sat Internet", "Sky satellite". These offers are sold by specialized operators in white Internet zones (KA-SAT, Eutelsat Konnect, Nordnet, etc.) — with no connection to Skysat marine.
Skysat installs and distributes Starlink Marine (SpaceX maritime offer) on sailboats and recreational boats. This is our only satellite-related activity: we install the antenna and wiring on board; we are not the operator.
Sky-Sat (with a hyphen)
Sky-Sat (with a hyphen, sky-sat.fr) is another distinct entity from Skysat. Double-check the spelling and web address: our name does not contain a hyphen, and our official domain is skysat.fr (not sky-sat.fr, skysat-marine.com or other variants).
