The company expanded its constellation from 12 to 14 high-resolution satellites following the successful RocketLab launch “Without Mission a Beat” on Saturday, April 2. This mission marks the fourth BlackSky satellite launch mission in the last four months.
“Our world needs real-time geospatial intelligence now more than ever,” said Nick Merski, BlackSky chief operations officer. “The rapid integration of these two satellites into commercial operations immediately boosts the capacity of our constellation and the frequency of hourly revisits for our customers that need real-time insights. Customers rely on BlackSky for timely, critical, and accurate insights and analytics. For example, commercial companies keep track on supply chains and their competition and humanitarian organizations and governments monitor conflict zones.”
