BlackSky to provide real-time satellite imagery under Emdyn contract

BlackSky Technology has secured a multi-year contract with geospatial intelligence firm Emdyn (Emerging Dynamics) to provide space-based imagery services to international clients. The agreement enables international defence ministries to integrate API-driven automated tip-and-cue tasking, combining signals intelligence and other data sources to support real-time tactical operations.

"BlackSky and Emdyn’s combined services will bring space and terrestrial data together for on-demand insights at scale, while a mission is ongoing," said Brian E. O’Toole, BlackSky CEO. "These unique AI-driven services will reduce end-to-end latency across the entire tasking-to-dissemination process."

"Emdyn Platform was fully developed in-house to meet the growing intelligence challenges in an increasingly unstable world," said Tim Van Renterghem, Emdyn founder and CEO. "Integrating BlackSky satellite imagery into Emdyn Platform adds a powerful real-time dimension that empowers analysts to derive accurate, actionable intelligence much faster."

BlackSky’s constellation design and AI-driven system automation enable frequent imaging and analysis. With revisit rates of up to 15 times per day from dawn to dusk, the BlackSky Spectra platform provides timely imagery and analytics to support decision-making at all levels, from senior leadership to field operations.
