BlackSky Secures U.S. Navy Contract to Advance Gen-3 Inter-Satellite Communications

BlackSky Technology Inc. has secured the next phase of a U.S. Navy research contract aimed at advancing optical inter-satellite link (OISL) terminal applications for its Gen-3 satellite constellation. This development is set to enhance the speed and volume of space-based data transfer between satellites before it is downlinked to ground stations. The contract supports BlackSky's mission to deliver timely intelligence for tactical ISR missions, with Gen-3 satellites expected to deliver data 10 times faster and with five times the volume of current systems. The OISL terminals will be compatible with the Space Development Agency's Transport Layer, providing reliable real-time earth imaging capabilities while ensuring secure and resilient data transmission.
