Commitment increases annual subscription to
nearly $18 million, extending access to reliable high-cadence Gen-2
services as BlackSky prepares to introduce advanced Gen-3
capabilities
BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) won an approximately $6
million contract expansion from an international defense sector
customer, bringing the total annual commitment to nearly $18
million, for subscription-based Assured access to Gen-2,
high-cadence, low-latency imagery services.
“BlackSky is setting new standards for space-based intelligence
operations as a trusted mission partner to the most demanding
defense and intelligence customers in the world,” said Brian
O’Toole, BlackSky CEO.
“We have established a new era of real-time monitoring where our
current Gen-2 rapid-revisit capabilities add a level of reliable
persistence and transparency over critical areas of interest. This
contract renewal is a testament that our unique rapid-revisit
capabilities are meeting market demand,” said O’Toole.
BlackSky’s Assured access customers worldwide task and receive
thousands of high-resolution images and analytics over priority
areas of interest every month, gaining visibility and insight into
border crossings, nuclear and port facilities, and other critical
national security and economic infrastructure at massive scale.
"We continue to see international customers lead the way by
activating immediate space-based intelligence capabilities through
BlackSky’s software-first adoption model,” said O’Toole.
“When BlackSky brings advanced Gen-3 capabilities to market, we
will close the traditional gap between spatial and temporal
resolution,” O’Toole said. “We expect that many of our current
international Assured customers will be among the first to
seamlessly incorporate very high-resolution 35 cm imagery and
sub-hourly revisit and delivery timelines into their workflows as
those capabilities become available.”
