HEO Robotics has crossed 5,000 successful non-Earth imaging missions.

Mentioned as: heo roboticsNarrative GeneralMar 30, 2026RT by @AJ_FI: Crossing 5,000 successful non-Earth imaging missions. We define one mission as one successful observation of a spacecraft — whether it's captured in a single frame or hundreds. From some of our earliest missions capturing the Chinese Space Station taking shape on orbit to… pic.

HEO Robotics imaged the Chinese Space Station object CSS (TIANHE-1) (48274) with a measured separation of 293.4 +/- 0.90 m between the Tianhe core module and the Tianzhou-2 cargo module.
