On January 14, BlackSky Technology Inc. announced that it has won an Electro-Optical Commercial Layer one-year extension contract with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) for subscription-based high-frequency, low-latency Gen-2 imagery services ahead of schedule. As part of the contract extension, BlackSky will add enhanced ground architecture features to improve image searchability and utility and provide more timely notice of intended collection status.
“Our customer’s early commitment represents continued confidence in BlackSky as a trusted mission partner as the NRO makes additional strides in leveraging commercial space technology to strengthen national security with a seamless path toward integrating our future Gen-3 capabilities,” said Brian O’Toole, BlackSky CEO.
Currently in its third year, this extends BlackSky’s performance into the fourth year of the 10-year EOCL contract and secures services until mid-2026.
“BlackSky is committed to providing the most advanced space-based intelligence capabilities to end-users as we extend services for anchor U.S. government customers and our growing customer base worldwide,” added O’Toole.
