BlackSky and Iceye join group creating Earth’s digital twin
Blacksky and Iceye have joined forces with AI-visualization specialists Aechelon Technology and Niantic Spatial to create a digital twin of Earth.
The joint campaign to create a planetary-scale geospatial model that can be frequently refreshed with satellite observations is called Project Orbion.
BlackSky high-resolution visual imagery and Iceye synthetic aperture radar data will feed into Skybeam, Aechelon’s three-dimensional global database.
Project Orbion is addressing the challenge of merging various sources of imagery and data in an enterprise environment, Scott Currie, Blacksky vice president of geospatial solutions, told SpaceNews.
BlackSky doubles down on Aussie NEI partnership
BlackSky ($BKSY) announced a seven-figure deal yesterday that will expand its non-Earth imaging (NEI) partnership with HEO, the Australian space domain awareness company.
The two companies partnered up in September (also to the tune of seven figures), under a deal to place BlackSky’s NEI services within HEO’s sensor network. This week’s deal extends that partnership.
It gives HEO’s software platform—called HEO Inspect—the ability to autonomously task BlackSky’s Gen-2 satellites, which then deliver non-Earth imagery and metadata directly into HEO Inspect.
Working overtime: The expanded partnership also comes with very little opportunity cost to BlackSky, officials explained, because the NEI requests are mostly expected to arrive when BlackSky sats aren’t imaging the Earth.
“BlackSky has the ability to leverage remaining capacity typically associated with satellites passing over the ocean or satellites in eclipse, traveling across the dark side of Earth,” Brian O’Toole, BlackSky CEO, said in a statement. “Customers can now use that excess capacity…to monitor objects in space, with no humans in the loop.”
BlackSky heralds new two-year early access agreement with international buyer for 35 centimeter imagery
BlackSky Technology [BKSY] has a new “early access” international buyer of the company’s Generation-3 35-centimeter imagery, the company said on Tuesday. The company “secured a two-year Gen-3 early access agreement with a new international customer that initiated a Gen-2 On-Demand contract in January,” BlackSky said. “The rapid expansion commitment illustrates the tremendous operational value and growing demand for combined Gen-3 very high-resolution imagery and Gen-2 low-latency, high-cadence dynamic monitoring services.”
