SI Imaging Services announced a contract Sept. 2 to lease the capacity of Earth-observation satellite SpaceEye-T to a European customer under a contract with a value of double-digit million Euro.
SpaceEye-T, an optical satellite offering native resolution of 25 centimeters per pixel, reached orbit in March on a SpaceX Transporter-13 rideshare. Satrec Initiative, SI Imaging Services’ parent company, developed and owns SpaceEye-T.
The lease to the undisclosed European customer is the latest example of the growing popularity of the Satellite-as-a-Service model.
