Co-Founders Dr Will Crowe and Dr Hiranya Jayakody founded HEO following their PhD research at UNSW, Sydney. Their mission was to visit, and collect data on, asteroids passing through the Earth-Moon system.
While waiting for the commercial market in asteroid mining, HEO began to use their fly-by technology to inspect satellites and debris in Earth orbit, becoming the world's first commercial satellite inspection company.
In May 2020, HEO captured their first non-Earth image, an image of the International Space Station, using a partner Earth observation satellite.
HEO unveiled HEO Inspect, a web app where customers can explore NEI data, task sensors and analyse insights, at T-Minus, the company's first product conference.
HEO launched the world's first commercial camera dedicated to Non-Earth Imaging, the Holmes Imager, onboard a partner satellite.
