HEO Inspect
HEO's service for ordering close-up pictures of satellites and space debris, taken by cameras on satellites already in orbit, delivered through a web app and API.
Why it matters
A tracking dot on a screen does not tell you whether a satellite has deployed an antenna, broken apart or is carrying something unexpected. Pictures do, which is why defense agencies and operators buy them.
How the technology works
HEO tasks cameras on partner and its own satellites when they pass near a target, then processes the frames into images and assessments such as identity, condition and behavior over time. It says it has eight of its own sensors in orbit and access to more than 50.
Its 2026 Series B funds expansion to geostationary orbit, with two GEO launches booked.
