BlackSky, a subsidiary of Seattle's Spaceflight Industries, has a similar purpose in mind for Global-1. Once it's up and running, the satellite should be capable of sending down on-demand multispectral images for near-real-time applications. BlackSky already has its prototype Pathfinder-1 satellite in orbit, but Global-1 should provide imagery with 1-meter as opposed to 2-meter resolution with quicker response time.
