BlackSky has extended its contract with HEO to include higher-resolution Gen-3 satellite imagery, enhancing the monitoring of spacecraft and orbital objects. The service now integrates both Gen-2 and Gen-3 satellite constellations to provide more frequent and detailed orbital inspections for defense, intelligence, and commercial clients.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Space Tech and Defense Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now deliver higher-resolution orbital imagery without launching new satellites. That opens a pathway to quickly upsell space surveillance clients with better data from existing assets.
