BlackSky Wins Multiple, Multi-Year Contracts with a Combined Value of Eight Figures to Accelerate the Development of India’s Commercial Earth Observation Capabilities

BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) won multi-year contracts that include Assured access to subscription-based low-latency, high-cadence imagery and AI-enabled analytics services. The deals also include the delivery of one high-resolution Earth observation satellite and launch support operations and on-orbit maintenance services. These contracts have a combined eight-figure value.

“Contributing to the development of India’s commercial Earth observation capabilities is an immense honor, and we look forward to supporting our customer’s upcoming launch and on-orbit operations. BlackSky’s combined offering will provide India immediate foresight into critical events impacting the nation as it continues to expand its sovereign space capabilities over the next few years,” said Brian O’Toole, BlackSky CEO.

“The customer has taken an innovative two-part adoption approach toward accelerating its space-based monitoring capabilities by first taking advantage of our commercially operated model for on-orbit sensor systems, while simultaneously activating a Spectra® subscription, which provides immediate access to BlackSky’s high-resolution, low-latency imagery and AI-enabled analytics services,” said Brian O’Toole, BlackSky CEO.

With subscription-based Assured access to BlackSky’s current high-cadence, real-time imagery and analytics services, the customer has guaranteed access and first-priority tasking capacity over their national and regional areas of interest. Once operational, the high-resolution, electro-optical satellite will work in parallel to BlackSky’s dynamic monitoring constellation to deliver mission-relevant insights at industry-leading speeds.
