Blacksky Technology Inc. rose 1.66% in premarket trading, with the company securing a two-year Gen-3 early access agreement with a new international customer. This agreement follows the customer's initiation of a Gen-2 On-Demand contract in January, highlighting the growing demand for combined Gen-3 very high-resolution imagery and Gen-2 low-latency, high-cadence dynamic monitoring services. The proven operational and technical heritage of the Gen-2 constellation has been leveraged into the design and operations of Gen-3, which generates high-cadence, time diverse 35-centimeter imagery. This imagery enables automated identification and classification of various objects of military interest, enhancing the value of the services provided.
