Satellogic, HEO establish Australia’s first sovereign sub-meter capability

Satellogic (SATL) and HEO announced an agreement that establishes a “significant new pillar of Australian sovereign space capability,” the company said. Through the full title acquisition of the in-orbit NewSat-34 satellite, a Mark IV-g satellite currently in orbit, HEO becomes the first Australian entity to own and operate a sub-meter resolution satellite. The satellite is already in orbit and actively collecting data, providing HEO with immediate operational capacity. Renamed Continuum-1, this acquisition represents a milestone in Australian space sovereignty and marks the first time Satellogic has sold a legacy, in-orbit satellite through its Sovereignty Government Program.
