SIIS expands global reach with new 25cm SpaceEye-T Sat-aaS contract

Global Earth observation specialist SI Imaging Services (SIIS) has secured a landmark multi-year contract worth tens of millions of dollars to deliver its SpaceEye-T Satellite-as-a-Service (Sat-aaS) platform to an undisclosed international customer. Following on from its first milestone contract last September, this deal marks SIIS's third major international win in under a year – a streak that signals surging global appetite for the company's next-generation constellation capabilities.

Under the terms of the Sat-aaS framework, the customer will secure dedicated, prioritized tasking capabilities and guaranteed access to SpaceEye-T’s very-very-high-resolution (VVHR) optical imagery over strategic areas of interest. This asset-light model empowers users with sovereign-level satellite control and actionable intelligence without the capital expenditure or operational burdens of owning space hardware.

SpaceEye-T, fully funded and developed by SIIS’s parent company Satrec Initiative (SI) and launched via SpaceX in March 2025, delivers native 25cm resolution optical imagery, standing as the highest-resolution commercial imaging satellite currently operational in orbit. The detail level makes it viable for demanding use cases like defence, national security, mapping and infrastructure monitoring.

Immediate data access

"The rapid, consecutive adoption of our Sat-aaS model by premier international customers within just a year of SpaceEye-T's launch validates the disruptive market power of our native 25cm data quality," said Moon-Gyu Kim, CEO of SIIS. "We are not just selling imagery; we are delivering a reliable, high-revisit intelligence capability. SIIS will continue to aggressively expand its footprint and redefine quality competitiveness in the global Earth observation market."

This consecutive contract win signals a significant structural shift in the Earth observation sector, where immediate, high-fidelity data access has become paramount. SIIS's ability to repeatedly secure double-digit million-dollar international commitments highlights the commercial maturity and technical superiority of the SpaceEye-T system.
