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.
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.
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.
Learn MoreHow It Works
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.
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.
Consider applying to join our partnerships program if your sensors meet the minimum specifications. Have a spacecraft going to space and need a sensor? Reach out.
Part of HEO’s mission is to keep space sustainable. Rather than launching our own assets, we foster collaboration opportunities with companies to access existing space-based sensors when they are not in use, as well as building our own imaging systems which will be integrated onto host spacecraft already going to space to improve HEO’s coverage in LEO and beyond.
Our partnerships program offers a new revenue stream for our partners by bringing in business when their cameras are not in use. A single company’s imaging system often does not have enough satellites for timely access to data and to maintain a high revisit rate. We add this additional capability to satellites allowing for them to focus on their primary missions while maximising its utilisation.
If the sensor is commissioned and API ready for tasking, HEO can begin tasking straight away with revenue realised within one to two months.
We work within the off-nadir restrictions of the satellite. However, increasing the off-nadir angle sees increased revenue potential for the partner.
