New view from space! We captured this image of the Chinese Space Station as it passed over the coast of Hawaii. At 12 cm/px resolution, we can see the expected T-shaped configuration of the CSS, with its solar array wings deployed and all science modules visible: Tianhe, Wentian and Mengtian.

It’s back. HEO’s T-Minus 5.0 is now live: piped.video/live/dRkxiT2jtT8…

We’re announcing our US$25M Series B. HEO’s ambition is to image anything in the solar system on demand. But imagery alone isn’t enough. We need to make sense of what we see and add context for our customers. This funding will expand our network into GEO, deploy new sensors, grow partnerships and accelerate our software that turns imagery into intelligence. Thank you to our investors, customers, partners and team for helping us get here. Read more: heospace.com/resources/stori…

One object. Two RPO campaigns. All angles. HEO's Continuum-1 satellite spent days in proximity to a noncooperative rocket body, capturing imagery up to 7 cm/pixel across over 50 imaging missions and thousands of individual frames. This mission moves HEO's capability beyond conventional flyby imaging and provides a foundation for future inspection missions in LEO, while supporting the company's path towards proximity operations in GEO.

Two Miras — less than 200 meters apart! Our LEO Express 2 and LEO Express 3 spacecraft recently met for a family reunion in orbit, following a series of carefully coordinated maneuvers that brought the two vehicles within approximately two football fields of each other. The operation put Mira's flight-proven agility to work, with our GNC, propulsion, and mission ops teams executing multiple complex maneuvers and close approaches along the way.

Hello there, @GoToImpulse During Impulse Space’s recent flyby operation, our Holmes Mk2 camera captured imagery of LEO Express 2 at approximately 5 kilometres distance from LEO Express 3. Huge in-orbit milestone for our Holmes Mk2 NEI camera and the future of spacecraft inspection!

We’ve got the RPO receipt! HEO has successfully repurposed an Earth observation satellite to conduct Rendezvous and Proximity Operations around a non-cooperative object. This is one of the first images from the mission. More: heospace.com/resources/stori… @Satellogic @UNSWCanberra @DTBTrailblazer

Exciting partnership with @heospace to expand their Non-Earth imaging network using our SkySat constellation! Space isn’t just about looking down at Earth - it’s also about looking out into orbit to ensure space domain awareness and safety.

HEO x @Planet We're integrating Planet's SkySat constellation into our Non-Earth Imaging network, pushing our sensor network past 50 in-orbit sensors for faster revisit rates and more consistent imaging for space domain awareness customers. Full release: heospace.com/resources/stori…

HEO’s first rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) mission is now underway. Using Continuum-1, an Earth observation satellite repurposed for non-Earth imaging, we’ll manoeuvre around an uncooperative object in LEO while collecting imagery during the operation. Proud to work alongside @Satellogic and UNSW Canberra Space on the mission. Read our story: heospace.com/resources/stori…

This is ZY-3, seen from 17 kilometres away, in one of the last images taken of it before it re-entered Earth's atmosphere. HEO captured the stereo mapping satellite at 4 cm/px across 46 frames, with a stable attitude throughout the capture. ZY-3 launched from Taiyuan on a Long March 4B in January 2012. It was China's first civilian three-line-array stereo mapping satellite, carrying three panchromatic cameras: one pointed at nadir and two angled 22° forward and aft, alongside a four-band multispectral imager. More than a decade later, ZY-3-04 launched in December 2025 as its replacement. Our image shows the spacecraft's optical payload and solar arrays. Both are fully deployed, though at different angles relative to the bus.

Emerging from the shadows. This is an H-2A rocket body, captured by HEO during a close flyby. A characteristic of H-2A rocket bodies is that they are gravity-gradient stabilised, naturally aligning themselves with Earth's gravity like a pen balancing on its tip. Direct imagery from space helps verify these behaviours, giving operators a new layer of insight into the objects sharing Earth's orbit. Non-Earth Imaging at 5 cm/pixel from 12 km away.

At first glance, it's just a satellite. Look closer, and you may find the answer you need. This is ALOS-2, Japan's flagship L-band SAR satellite, captured by HEO during a close flyby. Telemetry tells you what a spacecraft reports about itself. Imagery provides a new layer of mission awareness, verifying deployments, configuration, and revealing details that telemetry alone cannot.

Object B (67647), imaged across multiple frames by HEO's Continuum-1 satellite. Using our autonomous tasking and analytics software, HEO assessed that this unidentified object is the Long March 2C upper stage left in orbit after China's launch of AlSat-3B from Jiuquan on January 31, 2026. HEO measured the object at approximately 11.5m in length and characterised its engine, propellant tank, and payload adaptor. Captured in six distinct frames, this NEI mission also showed the object's natural motion in orbit. NEI like this is a vital information source for active debris removal missions, from planning and operations through to observation of the manoeuvre itself, delivering critical information to de-risk missions. The same characterisation supports in-orbit servicing and manufacturing missions, where knowing exactly what physical state a target is in and how it is moving determines whether rendezvous is viable.

For when you need to look deeper. Every satellite operator faces the same blind spots after launch: confirming they are communicating with the right satellite, whether the spacecraft deployed as designed, and what operational mode it is in. This image of ALOS-4 is an example of how HEO helps close that gap when the stakes are highest. Through non-Earth imaging, we identify the satellite, confirm the solar arrays and PALSAR-3 antenna are fully deployed, and verify its operational state, all from another satellite flying by. We're routinely expanding this capability, partnering with more satellites and launching proprietary sensors to extend coverage and improve image quality to read finer detail on configuration and behaviour.

ISRO's Cartosat 2D is seen here orbiting Earth, set against the backdrop of deep space. The object spans roughly 3.5 metres across its deployed solar panels, yet HEO resolved the main body, attitude, and solar panels from 52 kilometres away, with the vectors showing the arrays oriented toward the sun and the satellite holding a stable attitude.

Satellite-to-satellite imaging meets satellite-to-satellite relay. Aether-2 is one of Kepler Communications' original two pathfinder satellites, launched in 2023 to validate the optical inter-satellite links that now underpin a growing mesh architecture designed to route data satellite-to-satellite using IP networking rather than relying on ground station passes, including at high latitudes where terrestrial coverage is thin. HEO's non-Earth image, captured as the satellite passed over the Arctic Ocean north of Canada, shows its solar arrays fully deployed and oriented toward the Sun.

In 1986, this satellite provided the highest-resolution civilian view of the Chernobyl exclusion zone available at the time, captured within days of the disaster. SPOT 1, launched by CNES two months earlier, gave analysts imagery to begin understanding the scale of what had happened, at a moment when a 30 kilometre radius around the plant had been evacuated, 115,000 people displaced, and the ground itself too contaminated to survey on foot. SPOT 1 was one of the most capable Earth observation satellites of its time, delivering a sharp 10-meter ground resolution in panchromatic mode and 20 meters in multispectral mode. Its two-pass stereoscopic correlation technique produced usable elevation data for large portions of the planet's landmass, a capability that proved essential for reading terrain in a landscape where ground access was not an option. The story did not end with the disaster. In 1988, SPOT 1's near-infrared sensor captured some of the earliest evidence of recovery, photosynthetic activity returning to the exclusion zone. The SPOT series kept observing the area for years afterward, tracking decontamination work, new construction and reforestation as the region slowly changed. Nearly 40 years after launch, HEO imaged SPOT 1 in orbit, checking in on the state of the asset. The solar panels remain fully deployed and the satellite appears largely intact. Beyond physical condition, the imagery also offers a read on the object's behaviour, whether it is tumbling, stable, or holding a fixed orientation, information that is critical for space domain awareness on the growing population of aging, non-manoeuvrable objects in orbit.

One rocket family carries two of China's most closely watched space programmes. CZ-2F R/B is the spent rocket body from a Long March 2F launch, China's only operational human-rated launch vehicle family. The rocket's 2F/T variant launched the Tiangong-1 and Tiangong-2 prototype stations. A modified 2F/T configuration has since launched every mission of the Shenlong reusable spaceplane, most recently its fourth flight in February 2026. The 2F/G variant has launched every crewed Shenzhou mission to China's operational Tiangong space station, most recently Shenzhou-23 in May 2026. In this NEI mission, we characterised a CZ-2F/T rocket body over the North Pacific from 71.65 km away, resolving insights at 15 cm/pixel.

Space debris. Space stations. Unknown objects. Satellites. Asteroids. If it's in the solar system, we are going to image it and unlock the intelligence hidden within it. This non-Earth image reveals one of the H-2A upper stages in orbit at centimetre level clarity. The stage itself launched in May 2012, carrying Japan's GCOM-W1 satellite into orbit. It's part of the H-2A family, a rocket that first flew in 2001 and, after overcoming an early launch failure, completed every mission that followed. That run built a 98 percent success rate over 50 launches and almost 25 years, making the H-2A one of the world's most reliable heavy-lift rockets. The H-2A launched some of Japan's most significant space missions, from the Hayabusa2 asteroid sample return mission and the SLIM lunar lander to critical Earth observation and national security satellites, before retiring after its final launch in June 2025 in favour of Japan's H3 rocket. Every image, whether debris, space station or natural space object, adds one more verified entry to a working map of the orbital environment, not a one-off snapshot but an accumulating record anyone operating in orbit can draw on.
