BlackSky Technology Inc. (“BlackSky” or the “Company”), headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, is a space technology company that delivers real-time imagery, analytics and high-frequency monitoring along with solutions that allow customers the ability to acquire, own, and operate their own customized satellite(s) and space-to-ground system(s). The Company owns and operates an advanced purpose-built commercial, real-time intelligence system that combines the power of the BlackSky Spectra tasking and analytics software platform and the Company's proprietary high-resolution low earth orbit (“LEO”) small satellite constellation. The constellation is optimized to cost-efficiently capture imagery at high revisit rates where and when customers need it. The BlackSky Spectra software platform processes millions of observations a day by integrating data from the Company's proprietary satellite constellation and from other third-party sensors such as synthetic aperture radar and radio frequency satellites, millions of GPS-enabled terrestrial data sources and Internet of Things (“IoT”) connected devices. BlackSky Spectra applies advanced, proprietary artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”) techniques to process, analyze, and transform these raw feeds into actionable intelligence via alerts, information, and insights. Customers can access BlackSky Spectra's software platform and its data and analytics through easy-to-use web services or through platform application programming interfaces. BlackSky delivers a comprehensive suite of space-based intelligence products and services through three integrated revenue streams—space-based intelligence & AI services, mission solutions, and advanced technology programs.
