BlackSky Wins Seven-Figure Contract for Advanced Space Domain Awareness Solutions
BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) has secured a seven-figure contract to provide non-Earth Imaging (NEI) services for Space Domain Awareness (SDA) capabilities. The company will integrate Gen-2 satellite imagery of on-orbit spacecraft into the customer's SDA assets. This expansion into SDA unlocks additional value from BlackSky's current high-resolution Gen-2 constellation and meets the immediate demand for NEI solutions.
Space Situational Awareness (SSA) is important for identifying, characterizing, and tracking space objects and their operational environment. SSA data helps space operators predict and avoid collisions between objects or debris from various events. It is foundational to space safety and real-time space traffic coordination activities.
By delivering NEI capabilities, BlackSky can leverage underutilized capacity typically associated with satellites passing over the ocean or in eclipse. This enhances the company's service offering and supports mission success in space security.
BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) ha ottenuto un contratto di sette cifre per fornire servizi di Imaging non terrestre (NEI) per le capacità di Consapevolezza del Dominio Spaziale (SDA). L'azienda integrerà le immagini satellitari di Gen-2 di veicoli spaziali in orbita nei beni SDA del cliente. Questa espansione nel SDA sblocca un valore aggiuntivo dalla attuale costellazione ad alta risoluzione Gen-2 di BlackSky e soddisfa la domanda immediata di soluzioni NEI.
La Consapevolezza Situazionale Spaziale (SSA) è importante per identificare, caratterizzare e tracciare oggetti spaziali e il loro ambiente operativo. I dati SSA aiutano gli operatori spaziali a prevedere e evitare collisioni tra oggetti o detriti provenienti da vari eventi. È fondamentale per la sicurezza spaziale e le attività di coordinamento del traffico spaziale in tempo reale.
Fornendo capacità NEI, BlackSky può sfruttare la capacità sottoutilizzata tipicamente associata ai satelliti che passano sopra l'oceano o in eclissi. Questo migliora l'offerta di servizi dell'azienda e supporta il successo delle missioni nella sicurezza spaziale.

La Conciencia Situacional Espacial (SSA) es importante para identificar, caracterizar y rastrear objetos espaciales y su entorno operativo. Los datos de SSA ayudan a los operadores espaciales a predecir y evitar colisiones entre objetos o escombros de varios eventos. Es fundamental para la seguridad espacial y las actividades de coordinación del tráfico espacial en tiempo real.
Al ofrecer capacidades NEI, BlackSky puede aprovechar la capacidad infrautilizada comúnmente asociada con los satélites que pasan sobre el océano o en eclipse. Esto mejora la oferta de servicios de la empresa y apoya el éxito de las misiones en seguridad espacial.
블랙스카이 테크놀로지 Inc. (NYSE: BKSY)는 우주 영역 인식(SDA) 기능을 위한 비지구 이미징(NEI) 서비스 제공을 위해 7자리 계약을 체결했습니다. 회사는 고객의 SDA 자산에 궤도에 있는 우주선의 Gen-2 위성 이미지를 통합할 것입니다. SDA로의 이 확장은 BlackSky의 현재 고해상도 Gen-2 별자리에서 추가 가치를 창출하고 NEI 솔루션에 대한 즉각적인 수요를 충족시킵니다.
우주 상황 인식(SSA)은 우주 물체 및 그 운영 환경을 식별, 특성화 및 추적하는 데 중요합니다. SSA 데이터는 우주 운영자가 다양한 사건에서 물체 또는 파편 간의 충돌을 예측하고 피하는 데 도움을 줍니다. 이는 우주 안전 및 실시간 우주 교통 조정 활동의 기초가 됩니다.
NEI 기능을 제공함으로써 BlackSky는 대양 위나 일식 상태의 위성과 일반적으로 연관된 활용되지 않은 용량을 활용할 수 있습니다. 이는 회사의 서비스 제공을 강화하고 우주 보안 임무의 성공을 지원합니다.
BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) a sécurisé un contrat à sept chiffres pour fournir des services d'imagerie non terrestre (NEI) pour les capacités de sensibilisation au domaine spatial (SDA). L'entreprise intégrera les images satellites Gen-2 de vaisseaux spatiaux en orbite aux actifs SDA de ses clients. Cette expansion dans le SDA libère une valeur supplémentaire de la constellation Gen-2 haute résolution actuelle de BlackSky et répond à la demande immédiate de solutions NEI.
La surveillance spatiale (SSA) est importante pour identifier, caractériser et suivre les objets spatiaux et leur environnement opérationnel. Les données SSA aident les opérateurs spatiaux à prédire et à éviter les collisions entre objets ou débris provenant de divers événements. Cela constitue les bases de la sécurité spatiale et des activités de coordination du trafic spatial en temps réel.
En fournissant des capacités NEI, BlackSky peut tirer parti de la capacité sous-utilisée généralement associée aux satellites passant au-dessus de l'océan ou en éclipse. Cela améliore l'offre de services de l'entreprise et soutient le succès des missions en matière de sécurité spatiale.
BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) hat einen Vertrag im siebenstelligen Bereich gesichert, um nichtterrestrische Bildgebungsdienste (NEI) für Fähigkeiten zur Raumdomänenbewusstheit (SDA) bereitzustellen. Das Unternehmen wird Gen-2 Satellitenbilder von im Orbit befindlichen Raumfahrzeugen in die SDA-Ressourcen des Kunden integrieren. Diese Expansion in die SDA erschließt zusätzlichen Wert aus der aktuellen hochauflösenden Gen-2-Konstellation von BlackSky und erfüllt die unmittelbare Nachfrage nach NEI-Lösungen.
Die Raumlagebewusstheit (SSA) ist wichtig, um Weltraumobjekte sowie deren Betriebsumgebung zu identifizieren, zu charakterisieren und zu verfolgen. SSA-Daten helfen Weltraumoperators, Kollisionen zwischen Objekten oder Trümmern aus verschiedenen Ereignissen vorherzusagen und zu vermeiden. Sie sind grundlegende Bestandteile der Sicherheit im Weltraum und der Echtzeitkoordination des Weltraumverkehrs.
Durch die Bereitstellung von NEI-Fähigkeiten kann BlackSky ungenutzte Kapazitäten nutzen, die typischerweise mit Satelliten assoziiert sind, die über den Ozean oder im Schatten vorbeiziehen. Dies verbessert das Dienstleistungsangebot des Unternehmens und unterstützt den Erfolg von Missionen in der Weltraumsicherheit.

Deal unlocks use of constellation capacity, immediately meeting demand for cutting-edge Non-Earth Imagery to address critical needs in Space Situational Awareness
“BlackSky’s expansion into SDA unlocks additional value from our current high-resolution Gen-2 constellation and immediately meets our customer’s demand for NEI solutions,” said Brian O’Toole, BlackSky CEO. “Our continued momentum in the NEI space demonstrates technical agility and a strategic commitment to innovation that provides reliable, practical value to Space Situational Awareness operations.”
Space Situational Awareness (SSA) is vital for identifying, characterizing, and tracking space objects and their operational environment. SSA data is critical for maintaining space safety and facilitating real-time space traffic coordination. The data is used to help space operators predict and avoid collisions between objects or avoid debris from fragmentation events, meteor storms, or other natural events that might also affect operations.
SSA is foundational to all space safety and real time space traffic coordination activities and is a critical component of SDA, which is the ability of decision makers to understand, as completely as necessary, their current and predicted operational environments.
Delivering NEI capabilities gives BlackSky the ability to leverage underutilized capacity typically associated with satellites passing over the ocean or satellites in eclipse, traveling across the dark side of Earth. This enhances BlackSky’s service offering and supports mission success across the realm of space security.
