BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) secured more than two dozen new customers for its Gen-3 On-Demand subscription services during the first quarter, the satellite imagery company announced.

The company reported that customers are integrating its 35-centimeter imagery and analytics into their operations during Gen-3 Early Access periods, leading to opportunities for longer-term agreements. BlackSky's customer base includes both U.S. and international clients.

"These initial On-Demand contracts give us strong visibility into the next wave of Gen-3 customers," said Brian O'Toole, BlackSky CEO. "BlackSky is successfully capturing new customers and transitioning these accounts — many of which start out as small pilot programs — into larger, long-term subscriptions."

The company stated that the introduction of daily Gen-3 service worldwide and the integration of its fourth Gen-3 satellite have accelerated On-Demand commitments from customers. BlackSky's On-Demand customers operate across national security and economic indicator missions.

On-Demand provides real-time imagery and analytics for organizations monitoring multiple areas across large regions or globally. The service includes flexible priority tasking levels and access to historical archive imagery and partner data.

BlackSky operates a satellite constellation and the BlackSky Spectra tasking and analytics software platform. The company is headquartered in Herndon, Virginia.
