BlackSky continues operational momentum with two back-to-back launches in six days by Staff Writers Herndon VA (SPX) Dec 08, 2021
BlackSky plans to add another two satellites to its constellation Wednesday with the Rocket Lab mission titled "A Data with Destiny." Satellites from the SpaceX mission Thursday began delivering revenue-generating insights for customers less than 24 hours following launch and increased constellation revisit rates to six consistent visits per day in key markets during daylight hours. "BlackSky is pushing the boundaries of operational pace and agility in how we introduce new satellite capacity to customers," said Nick Merski, BlackSky chief operations officer. "High revisit rates create what we believe is a strategic intelligence advantage and extraordinary value for our government and commercial customers about locations that matter to them." "We're shaping a new industry paradigm for delivering real-time geospatial services from launch to commercial availability. Every launch increases the volume of data available that our Spectra AI platform can use to deliver high value insights for customers," he added. BlackSky expects to achieve a 12 small satellite constellation by the end of 2021. BlackSky is a leading provider of real-time geospatial intelligence. Leveraging its own satellite constellation and harnessing the world's emerging sensor network, the Company monitors the activities and locations worldwide that matter most to its customers. BlackSky's on-demand constellation of proprietary satellites, together with the sensors in its partners' constellations, are capable of imaging targeted locations on Earth multiple times a day in a variety of conditions. The data collected from BlackSky's satellites and other sources populates BlackSky's proprietary data lake and platform. Cutting-edge computer techniques, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, allow BlackSky's customers to derive unique and commercially valuable insights, providing them with a first-to-know advantage. BlackSky's suite of real-time geospatial intelligence products can be integrated into a customer's system or made available through BlackSky's Spectra platform using a laptop and internet connection.
