BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) received a one-year extension contract from the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to continue its Electro-Optical Commercial Layer (EOCL) subscription for high-frequency Gen-2 imagery services.

"This contract represents continued confidence in BlackSky as a trusted mission partner as the NRO makes strides in leveraging commercial space technology to strengthen national security," said Brian E. O'Toole, BlackSky CEO.

"BlackSky is committed to providing the most advanced space-based intelligence capabilities to end-users as we expand services for anchor U.S. government customers and our growing customer base worldwide."

The U.S. government has built a new API-enabled commercial imagery ordering architecture designed to streamline and scale the ability to order and receive data products from commercial providers. BlackSky was the first commercial imagery provider to successfully integrate and validate the performance of this architecture.

"Now entering its third year, the 10-year EOCL contract continues to confirm the value of BlackSky's distinct real-time, high-revisit monitoring approach," O'Toole added.

BlackSky achieves industry-leading speed through constellation design and a dedication to end-to-end AI-driven system automation. With rapid, hourly revisit rates, BlackSky delivers time-diverse imagery and analytics up to 15 times per day, dawn-to-dusk, providing decision-quality data directly to those who need it most-from senior leaders to warfighters in the field.
