Multi-year,
indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract valued up to $476
million
BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) was selected by NASA to
provide time-diverse, high-revisit satellite imaging data in
support of the agency’s existing Earth observation research under
the Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition Program (CSDAP). The
multi-year, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract
carries a maximum value of $476 million and a performance period
through November 2028 for selected contractors.
“Adding BlackSky’s space-based intelligence products to NASA’s
research data repository provides yet another valuable proof point
of government demand for real-time, dawn-to-dusk monitoring
capabilities,” said Brian E. O’Toole, BlackSky CEO.
The BlackSky Spectra tasking and data fusion platform takes
imagery and AI-enabled analytics data from the company’s
high-revisit constellation to facilitate automatic pattern-of-life
monitoring and anomaly detection at massive scale. Under the CSDAP
BlackSky will provide Earth observation data that supports NASA’s
Earth science research and application activities that help improve
life on the planet.
“With increased temporal frequency NASA-backed researchers
worldwide will be able to broaden their understanding, explore
predictive capabilities and develop actionable scientific
observations around the most critical changes in the Earth’s
ecosystems, oceanography, geography and polar systems,” said
O’Toole.
