BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE:BKSY) saw its shares rise 5% after revealing it had signed a two-year Gen-3 early access deal with a new international client. The customer had first engaged with the company through a Gen-2 On-Demand contract in January, marking a quick escalation in their partnership.
The agreement underscores heightened interest in BlackSky’s integrated imaging solutions, which pair Gen-3’s ultra-high-resolution imagery with Gen-2’s low-latency, high-frequency dynamic monitoring capabilities.
“BlackSky continues to be recognized as a trusted mission partner in helping our global customers quickly scale their advanced national space capabilities and become among the first to acquire early access to Gen-3,” said Brian O’Toole, BlackSky CEO.
Gen-3 satellites capture 35-centimeter resolution images at a high cadence, supporting automated detection and classification of vehicles, aircraft, vessels, and other military-relevant assets. These features complement the company’s existing Gen-2 dawn-to-dusk monitoring services.
Through its On-Demand offerings, BlackSky delivers subscription-based access to worldwide satellite imagery and AI-powered analytics, complete with instant tasking options, multi-sensor data integration, and mission-ready intelligence for time-sensitive operations.
The financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed.
