BlackSky

BlackSky has delivered its first AI-enabled analytics derived from new, very high-resolution imagery captured by the company’s first Gen-3 satellite three weeks after its successful February 18 launch. AI-automated detection and identification algorithms accurately transform Gen-3’s fine-detailed imagery into actionable, precision insights at machine speed and scale over tactical objects of interest. “BlackSky's first Gen-3 satellite has continued to exceed on-orbit performance expectations, accelerating a path toward fine-tuning our advanced, propriety AI-enabled analytics capabilities within just weeks of launch,” said?Brian OToole, BlackSky CEO. “Gen-3 imagery will enable the delivery of extraordinarily detailed and accurate real-time automated analytics seamlessly into our customers’ workflow.” The images captured over Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, South?Africa and Wellington International Airport in New Zealand feature automated detections of vehicles, vessels and aircraft.
