BlackSkyย (NYSE:ย BKSY) secured a five-year, sole-source blanket purchase agreement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to provide high revisit satellite imaging data in support of the agencyโs existing Earth observation research to advance predictive capabilities.
โThis award reflects yet another valuable point of alignment between government demand and BlackSkyโs commercially available real-time, global intelligence products,โ said Brian E. OโToole, CEO of BlackSky. โHelping NASA-backed researchers broaden their understanding around critical changes in the Earthโs ecosystems, oceanography, geographic and polar sciences is vitally important.โ
โOur constellation delivers, dawn-to-dusk imaging that facilitates automatic pattern-of-life monitoring and anomaly detection. Fusing that data with our Spectra AI platform enables compelling and actionable scientific observations about our planet,โ he added.
As part of NASAโs Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition Program (CSDAP), research teams worldwide will have access to high spectral and spatial resolutions with increased temporal frequency and other novel capabilities.
