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.
HEO Robotics has crossed 5,000 successful non-Earth imaging missions.
HEO will provide non-Earth imagery under the initial tranche of NRO commercial awards.
Highly Elliptical Orbits (HEO) and cislunar space can reduce radiation exposure relative to the Van Allen belts and provide long dwell times over specific hemispheres.
Will Crowe is the CEO of HEO.
Continuum-1 will immediately extend HEO's NEI capacity for applications such as imaging spacecraft.
HEO was formerly known as HEO Robotics.
HEO purchased Satellogic's NewSat-34.
The Aleph-1 constellation is an operational Satellogic satellite constellation referenced in the Satellogic–HEO partnership.
HEO declined to disclose the purchase cost of Continuum-1.
By acquiring NewSat-34, HEO can immediately offer sub-meter resolution Earth imagery and proximity-aware non-Earth imaging services to Australian government and commercial clients.
Satellogic Inc. and HEO completed the sale and transfer of NewSat-34 on January 27, 2026.
HEO still plans to partner with other Earth-observation companies where possible.
HEO is forming agreements with Australian organizations to utilize Continuum-1 for wildfire monitoring and maritime awareness.
HEO is an Australian non-Earth imaging (NEI) startup.
In March 2024, Satellogic and HEO expanded their partnership to integrate HEO’s non-Earth imaging software with Satellogic’s Aleph-1 constellation.
HEO plans to demonstrate a rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) maneuver to image another satellite in orbit using Continuum-1.
HEO typically captures NEI images using Earth-observation satellites from partner companies during downtime when those satellites are flying over the ocean.
HEO plans to use Continuum-1 to test new image acquisition modes, expand its satellite imagery catalog, and accelerate improvements in its autonomous NEI systems.
HEO plans to use its automated tasking platform to integrate NewSat-34 data with its existing analytics suite.
