BlackSky Technology shares were up 16% to $15.24 after the company won a contract worth more than $100 million from a long-term strategic partner in the international defense sector for real-time, space-based monitoring capabilities.
Shares of the space-based intelligence company hit their 52-week high of $16.38 earlier in the session, and are up more than 50% in the past 12 months.
The Herndon, Va., company said the new seven-year deal secures annual capacity minimums for high-resolution, low-latency current Gen-2 and upcoming Gen-3 imagery and AI-enabled analytics services through 2032.
