Telespazio has signed a new deal with BlackSky which will enable the company to make BlackSky geospatial products and services commercially available to customers world-wide. The non-exclusive reseller agreement was announced June 24.

The agreement will enable Telespazio’s companies including e-GEOS and GAF to enrich their geoinformation offering, by adding BlackSky’s high-resolution, high revisit dawn-to-dusk image products which complement the monitoring capabilities of the COSMO-SkyMed and COSMO-SkyMed second generation radar constellation.

The deal is further evidence of the strategic partnership between the two companies, which started in March 2018 when Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales and Leonardo, and BlackSky to form the joint venture LeoStella.

“Customers around the world have a clear need for dynamic monitoring: delivering real-time intelligence and access to just-in-time information in support of their most important day-to-day decisions. We’re pleased to work with Telespazio Group to provide advanced high frequency imaging to address new and emerging business needs and change the way we see and understand our world,” Brian O’Toole, CEO of BlackSky said in a statement.
