The partnership brings HEO’s first owned camera to mid-inclination orbit, enabling higher frequency images of important space assets.
Sydney, Australia. (December 22, 2024) — HEO’s non-Earth imaging camera (NEI), Holmes-004, aboard Sidus Space’s LizzieSat™-2, was successfully launched to space yesterday. Operating as a hosted payload, Holmes-004 will capture high-resolution imagery of space objects as they naturally fly by the host spacecraft.
As part of this partnership, LizzieSat™-2 will be integrated into HEO Inspect, the company’s automated tasking and delivery platform. Once operational, LizzieSat™-2 will expand HEO’s ability to deliver high-frequency imagery by providing additional coverage from a mid-inclination orbit. The imagery gives customers access to in-orbit insights for anomaly detection, early operations support, spacecraft identification, capability assessment, and advanced pattern-of-life analysis.
“Our success would not be possible without the collaboration with partners like Sidus Space. We strongly believe in the power of partnerships to shape the future of space,” said Will Crowe, CEO and Co-Founder of HEO. “We’re keen to work with innovative companies like Sidus Space to bring our vision of a more transparent space environment to life.”
“Collaborating with HEO on LizzieSat™-2 is a testament to the versatility and adaptability of our platform to integrate innovative technologies that address critical challenges in space,” said Carol Craig, CEO of Sidus Space. “Through our monthly data-as-a-service subscription model, we are proud to support HEO’s mission to enhance in-orbit insights and enable a more secure and sustainable space environment. This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering scalable, cost-effective solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible in space.”
HEO’s NEI cameras are purpose-built to enable high-frequency, multi-angle perspectives of space objects. The proliferation of these sensors across orbits strengthens HEO’s ability to support satellite resiliency and a more secure and sustainable space environment.
