BlackSky is yet again setting new industry standards for speed and agility as we prepare for the upcoming launch of the company’s first very-high resolution Gen-3 satellite. The new Gen-3 satellite constellation represents a massive, innovative leap forward for the entire space-based intelligence industry.
BlackSky is a real-time, space-based intelligence company that delivers on-demand, high-frequency imagery, analytics and high-frequency monitoring of the most critical and strategic locations, economic assets and events in the world.
As the Earth observation (EO) industry pivots from static mapping to dynamic monitoring, BlackSky has reshaped expectations of what’s possible with high-resolution satellite imagery and automated analytics.
BlackSky gives customers the ability to revisit an area of critical interest up to 15 times per day and to task and receive that data into their personal workspaces at mission-relevant speed. Add the ability to automatically fuse in other space-based and terrestrial data sources through the BlackSky Spectra® platform while simultaneously monitoring several locations at massive geographic scale and you have the makings of the most advanced real-time space-based intelligence system in the world. And this just describes BlackSky’s current Gen-2 capabilities.
When it comes to resolution, revisit rates and delivery times Gen-3 will deliver three times more performance than Gen-2 and enable timely insights that are not achievable using traditional mapping approaches. In addition to the automatic detection, identification and classification of a wider library of vehicles, aircraft, vessels and other objects of tactical interest, the Gen-3 constellation will introduce a new capability for BlackSky customers: the ability to image through smoke and haze with Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) bands.
With BlackSky, customers can see, understand and anticipate changes for a decisive strategic advantage at the tactical edge, and act not just fast, but first. BlackSky is trusted by some of the most demanding U.S. and international government agencies, commercial businesses, and organizations around the world.
