Make the most out of your time in orbit by joining HEO's NEI network

providing high-quality, continuous view of space assets

Supporting our commitment to space sustainability, we leverage third party sensors in space and launch our own cameras as hosted payloads to extend orbital coverage. We turn single capability satellites into multi-use capability satellites without compromising core mission objectives. We use the sensor during downtime and handle the entire imaging process.

Current Coverage

HEO employs over 40 sensors to provide coverage on objects up to 700 kilometre altitude. We continue to scale our network, with plans to deploy over 60 sensors in Low-Earth Orbit by the end of 2025 and introduce our first operational sensors in Geostationary Orbit (GEO) by 2026.

Host HEO's NEI Camera

HEO is extending our coverage beyond LEO by launching non-Earth imaging cameras as hosted payloads on third-party spacecraft. Operating as a hosted payload, our cameras capture resolved imagery of space objects as they fly past your spacecraft.

How It Works

Designed To Match Your ConOps

HEO can bring standard Earth observation practices into non-Earth imaging without any additional engineering. Similar to how Earth observation requests include event-based imaging to image an area at a specific time, we can provide a location on Earth and a set time for non-Earth imaging. Using your typical pointing and concept of operations, HEO conducts all calculations so that a satellite will be in the frame of the camera at the imaging time.

Host HEO's NEI Camera

HEO is extending our coverage beyond LEO by launching NEI cameras as hosted payloads on third-party spacecraft. Our Holmes Mk2 Imager is the smallest payload currently offered by HEO, developed for in-orbit NEI applications. Adler is HEOs larger payload engineered for exceptional image quality and is the largest commercial camera dedicated to non-Earth imaging. Operating as a hosted payload, our cameras capture resolved imagery of space objects as they fly past your spacecraft.
