what happened

BlackSky won a seven-figure, multiyear contract from an undisclosed international customer for combined Assured and On-Demand satellite-imagery subscriptions, the company said Aug. 11. The customer will access Gen-2 and Gen-3 imagery and AI-enabled analytics through BlackSky's Spectra platform, following an earlier pilot program with the same customer.

why it matters

BlackSky said international customers now account for over 80% of its funded backlog, with international revenue growing 200% year over year in the second quarter. Deals like this one, converting pilots into recurring subscriptions, are the mechanism behind that growth rather than one-off government awards.
