Gen-3
SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE
Welcome to the next era in space-based intelligence.
BlackSky is excited to introduce Gen-3, our next generation of satellites with enhanced capabilities to meet mission-critical needs on mission-critical timelines. With Gen-3, BlackSky combines hourly revisit with very-high resolution imagery and AI-enabled outputs delivered at industry-leading speed.
Track assets and detect change faster, more frequently and with more clarity, so you can act fast and with confidence.
First insight Gen-3 satellite image with AI-enabled analytics highlighting vessels and vehicles over Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa delivered three weeks after launch.
Meet Gen-3: BlackSky’s next-gen satellite constellation, featuring:
