HEO
HEO provides non-Earth imaging (NEI) at scale, delivering high-volume imagery and insights on satellites in low-Earth orbit for defense agencies, satellite operators, and civil governments. Its HEO Inspect 3.0 platform serves as a unified control layer for tasking missions, initiating captures, and retrieving imagery and analytics in real time. The company also builds compact, flight-proven NEI cameras that enable commercial partners and allied governments to add NEI capability to their own missions.

Problem
Space domain awareness relies on understanding the identity, configuration, and behavior of objects in orbit, yet traditional methods often lack timely, high-volume imagery of individual satellites. This limits the ability to identify newly launched objects, verify deployments, detect anomalies, and monitor operational patterns, creating uncertainty for defense agencies, satellite operators, and civil governments.
Solution
HEO delivers non-Earth imaging at scale, providing high-volume imagery and insights across key low-Earth orbit satellites today, while advancing toward imaging anything in the solar system on-demand. The company combines highly automated software with sophisticated hardware to enable identification and characterization of spacecraft, satellite monitoring and pattern-of-life analysis, and anomaly detection and attribution. Its HEO Inspect 3.0 platform serves as a unified control layer that connects in-orbit sensors, allowing users to assess data feasibility in real time, task missions, initiate captures, and pull imagery and insights at scale without switching tabs. HEO also builds compact, flight-proven NEI cameras that enable commercial partners to make their missions NEI capable and allied governments to establish sovereign NEI capability.
Target Audience
Primary customers are national security and defense agencies, LEO and GEO satellite operators, and civil government space agencies and researchers seeking space domain awareness and operational confidence.
