BlackSky Technology Inc. shipped its first Gen-3 satellite to launch provider Rocket Lab, with a planned launch in February from New Zealand. The Gen-3 constellation is designed to offer new mission-critical insights with very high-resolution, rapid-revisit 35-centimeter imagery and AI-enabled analytics.
CEO Brian O’Toole stated that Gen-3 represents a transformative leap forward for space-based intelligence, combining very high-resolution imagery with high-frequency monitoring. The Gen-3 constellation is designed to deliver data at sub-hourly, mission-relevant speeds when combined with BlackSky Spectra®.
BlackSky has secured significant contracted backlog for Gen-3 services, indicating strong demand from key defense and intelligence customers worldwide. The company expects a regular cadence of additional launches throughout the year as more Gen-3 satellites come off the production line.
