BlackSky Technology<\/b> announced a deal with an unnamed international customer for a dedicated Gen-3 satellite, along with BlackSky\u2019s imagery and analytics services. The deal announced Tuesday will give BlackSky\u2019s international customer a sovereign, space-based intelligence solution.<\/p>\n
The customer will have immediate access to BlackSky\u2019s imagery and analytics, along with dynamic monitoring over their national and regional areas of interest. In addition, the customer purchased one Gen-3 BlackSky satellite, which will work in parallel to BlackSky\u2019s constellation once it is operational. <\/p>\n
\u201cWith this agreement, our customer will have national on-orbit, best-in-class 35-centimeter imaging and AI-enabled analytics capabilities within months, not years,\u201d commented Brian O\u2019Toole, BlackSky CEO. \u201cBlackSky is accelerating how our global customer base adopts advanced, space-based intelligence by quickly moving Gen-3 units from our agile production line through our rapid deployment process, effectively enabling long-term mission capabilities in very little time.\u201d<\/p>\n
BlackSky began launching its Gen-3 satellites last year, with one satellite in November delivering images from the satellite less than 24 hours after launch. With the Gen-3 rollout, the company has reported that customers in the Americas, Asia, and Europe, who came onboard for pilot programs have signed expansion contracts for Gen-3 access. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
