Congrats on the successful launch of BlueBird 6 @AST_SpaceMobile!

Thanks for the shoutout for our XJY-7 works @DJSnM

We’ve captured one of our best images of the @Space_Station yet.

The number of satellites in orbit is set to increase tenfold in the next decade. At the same time, space-to-space threats are rising and the need to inspect and maintain satellites is accelerating faster than anyone expected.

Resolution alone won't deliver what's needed. True understanding comes from observing satellites frequently, from multiple angles and orbits, so you can see how they behave, respond to their environment, and what they're capable of across time and geography.

That's why HEO focuses on high-frequency Non-Earth Imaging. Our technology is built for speed, scale, and adaptability, operating across multiple orbits with diverse satellite providers to deliver more coverage, more data, and faster insights into thousands of satellites. This approach will get us to a future where satellite inspection is truly on-demand. You tell us you want an image of your satellite and we deliver imagery and analysis when you need them.

New from orbit!

We captured this image of the Chinese Space Station using a @BlackSky_Inc satellite. This NEI mission was captured from a distance of 83 km, with a resolution of 0.17 m/px.

Can you identify the various modules of the space station?

@snizzle2013 @heospace Are we watching different videos? Also, wrong space station

[HEO @heospace]

Remember when HEO gave the world its first look at a space station being built from orbit?

Rewatch the animation to see how our automated infrastructure allows us to deliver non-Earth imagery at scale and capture every important event.

[Will Crowe @drwillcrowe]

@ISDeptJP1 @heospace This on is Hubble

[Will Crowe @drwillcrowe]

@FreddyDopfel @heospace From above. There's always a higher satellite!

[HEO @heospace]

Same space station – 3 separate years.

We're continuously improving NEI resolution:

💻 Software – Refining sensor operations for sharper imagery.
📷 Sensors – Launching our own + integrating partner sensors.

Higher resolution = better data for smarter space operations.

[HEO @heospace]

Let's test your non-Earth imaging skills. Can you identify this satellite?

[HEO @heospace]

HEO's largest NEI camera, Adler, is expected to launch in March.

Marking its first launch, Adler will expand our on-orbit capacity as well as introduce new capabilities like short video captures for automated NEI via HEO Inspect.

@RemyAjenifuja @heospace I'm going to open a bottle of Hubbly and think about your answer

[Will Crowe @drwillcrowe]

@SeveTom @heospace Lol

[Will Crowe @drwillcrowe]

@wanderingyankee @heospace ...nah

[Will Crowe @drwillcrowe]

@ASaltyGuardian @heospace We're just not brave enough lol

[Will Crowe @drwillcrowe]

@TSHamiltonAstro Love it - next time we sync imaging it with your activities, I'll tag you

[Will Crowe @drwillcrowe]

@superparsec @heospace I think an Axelspace satellite and about 40km

[Will Crowe @drwillcrowe]

@NicosPanoptikum @heospace I think 40km from the satellite we used to image it in this case

[Will Crowe @drwillcrowe]

@gartleyatcis @heospace No, but we did verify pointing direction with Hubble's imaging logs
