"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.

He added that their rapid-revisit capabilities are proving essential, stating, "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."

BlackSky's Assured access program enables customers to receive thousands of high-resolution images and analytics monthly, offering critical insights on activities such as border crossings and monitoring nuclear and port facilities, as well as other key infrastructure.

O'Toole also commented on the company's future advancements, saying, "We continue to see international customers lead the way by activating immediate space-based intelligence capabilities through BlackSky's software-first adoption model."

He further elaborated on their upcoming technology, "When BlackSky brings advanced Gen-3 capabilities to market, we will close the traditional gap between spatial and temporal resolution. 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."
