BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE:BKSY) stock rose Tuesday after the company announced an eight-figure international contract for expedited delivery of a Gen-3 sovereign space-based intelligence solution.

New International Gen-3 Satellite Contract

The agreement covers the sale of a Gen-3, very high-resolution 35-centimeter satellite, multi-year on-orbit operations, and subscription-based Assured imagery and analytics services.

CEO Brian O'Toole stated the contract will provide the customer with near-term access to advanced imaging and AI-enabled analytics within months.

The Gen-3 satellite will operate with BlackSky's existing constellation to deliver mission-relevant insights quickly.
