BlackSky (BKSY) Technology won the next phase of a competitive U.S. Navy research contract to further develop optical inter-satellite link terminal applications for its Gen-3 constellation. Under the agreement, BlackSky will explore hardware and software design adaptations and establish new protocols for data movement. The optical inter-satellite link terminals are expected to increase the speed at which high-volume space-based data travels directly between satellites before downlinking to ground stations.
