BlackSky Technology Inc. unveiled plans to expand its current high-frequency monitoring constellation with new multispectral, large-area collection satellites, initially designated as AROS. These new satellites are designed to support country-scale digital mapping, navigation, maritime, and 3D digital twin applications at unmatched speed and scale.
AROS will augment the high-frequency site monitoring capabilities of Gen-3, providing customers with dynamic broad area search, change monitoring, and predictable refresh of large area and 3D mapping datasets. BlackSky is engaged with development partners and plans to launch AROS as early as 2027.
CEO Brian O’Toole stated that AROS is optimized to collect new multispectral, proprietary, country and region scale datasets and is engineered to power the next wave of AI-driven geospatial and digital twin applications. This constellation aims to address anticipated market supply gaps as legacy large-area mapping satellites age out of service.
