UP42 Adds BlackSky Dynamic Monitoring to Marketplace

Access to the BlackSky constellation enables UP42 users to place on-demand tasking orders for continued acquisitions as frequently as every 60 minutes during daylight hours at mid-latitude locations.

“Availability of BlackSky imagery on our platform offers a significant advantage to UP42 users engaged in monitoring critical infrastructure, strategic assets, and ongoing economic activities,” said UP42 CEO Sean Wiid. “Last-minute BlackSky satellite tasking and low-latency collect-to-data delivery make near real-time monitoring and change detection a reality.”

BlackSky’s first-of-its-kind AI-driven dynamic monitoring capabilities deliver timely data to decision makers across a wide range of applications, including mapping and navigation, commodity analysis, infrastructure security, maritime tracking, supply chain planning, and geospatial intelligence (GEOINT).

“In a rapidly changing world, BlackSky’s dynamic monitoring capabilities are meeting customers’ emerging business and mission needs for real-time intelligence to support their most important decisions,” said Amy Minnick, BlackSky Chief Commercial Officer. “UP42 customers will have on-demand access to BlackSky’s current and future constellation capabilities through our partnership.”

The majority of BlackSky’s satellites fly in mid-inclination orbits with offsets that allow for hourly revisits from daybreak to sundown at mid-latitude geographic locations.
