BlackSky Technology Inc.

Based in Herndon, Virginia, BlackSky Technology operates a space-based intelligence business serving government and commercial customers across North America, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and internationally. The company develops, integrates, and operates a constellation of satellites alongside software platforms and ground systems that deliver geospatial intelligence and imagery to clients. Its core offering centers on processing satellite data—including imaging, radar, and radio frequency observations—combined with external data sources such as environmental sensors, IoT devices, and internet-based information feeds to provide actionable intelligence products.

The company's Spectra software platform processes observations from its satellite constellation and multiple external data sources to enable object detection, change and anomaly identification, site monitoring, and pattern-of-life analysis. These capabilities support applications in national security, supply chain intelligence, critical infrastructure monitoring, crisis management, and economic intelligence. BlackSky serves use cases including monitoring of ports, airports, construction sites, retail activity, and commodity stockpiles.

Beyond software and imagery services, BlackSky develops and manufactures satellites and payload systems and provides associated professional engineering services. The company was founded in 2014 and operates as a publicly traded entity on the NYSE with a market capitalization of approximately $0.7 billion.
