Make the most out of your time in orbit by joining HEO's NEI network
Supporting our commitment to space sustainability, we leverage third party sensors in space to extend orbital coverage. With proven success on Earth observation, space logistics and in-space servicing applications, we turn single capability satellites into multi-use capability satellites without compromising core mission objectives. We'll use your sensor during downtime and take care of the entire imaging process.
HEO employs over 40 sensors to provide coverage on objects up to 700 kilometre altitude. We plan to grow our ecosystem to over 1000 sensors across all orbital regimes by 2027, with GEO coverage expected in 2025.
Fast track your entry into the NEI market and realise additional revenue during satellite downtime.
Support space sustainability by working with HEO to improve satellite efficiency and effectiveness.
Our technology integrates with your existing systems without compromising core mission objectives.
HEO can bring standard Earth observation practices into non-Earth imaging (NEI) 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 NEI. 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.
