New view from space!

We captured this image of the Chinese Space Station as it passed over the coast of Hawaii.

At 12 cm/px resolution, we can see the expected T-shaped configuration of the CSS, with its solar array wings deployed and all science modules visible: Tianhe, Wentian and Mengtian.

Orbital data centres could add up to a million satellites in the next decade. Who will inspect and maintain them?

At T-Minus, @drwillcrowe explores the opportunity for spacecraft inspection and maintenance, and how rendezvous and proximity operations can help protect these valuable assets.

As orbital infrastructure scales, so will the need to inspect it.

6 years ago, @Satellogic helped us explore what Earth observation satellites could see when pointed at other spacecraft.

Today, we're announcing a three-year agreement to expand non-Earth imaging and deliver insights to commercial and government customers.

Together, we're pushing what's possible in orbit.

Making space manoeuvrable.

At T-Minus, @drwillcrowe announced HEO’s two new rendezvous offerings: sovereign software that enables any satellite with propulsion and a camera to perform a rendezvous, and rendezvous on demand, bringing inspection missions from years of preparation to potentially hours.

The family tree behind this rocket body reaches all the way back to Sputnik.

SL-4 R/B (68753) is the spent rocket body from a Soyuz-2.1b launch from Plesetsk in April 2026.

Soyuz belongs to the R-7 rocket family, the same lineage that carried Sputnik 1 into orbit in 1957. Nearly 70 years later, that lineage continues to evolve, putting new hardware into space.

Through our Non-Earth Imaging, we can see the rocket body tumbling in orbit, with the main body and engine nozzles visible.

Images taken from an average distance of 321.31km with an average resolution of 25 cm/px.
