These agreements include exclusive access to subscription-based, low-latency, high-frequency imagery and AI-powered analytics services. Additionally, BlackSky will provide a high-resolution Earth observation satellite along with launch support operations and on-orbit maintenance services.

"It is a privilege to contribute to the growth of India's commercial Earth observation capabilities, and we are eager to assist our customer in their upcoming satellite launch and operational deployment. BlackSky's integrated services will offer India critical insights into key developments impacting the nation as it continues to build its sovereign space infrastructure in the coming years," said Brian O'Toole, CEO of BlackSky.
