HEO Secures Access to Planet Satellites for Spacecraft Imaging

Australian Earth‑observation company HEO has signed an agreement with Planet to use the latter’s satellite fleet for imaging other spacecraft rather than Earth. The deal expands HEO’s capability to capture images of satellites and debris in orbit by leveraging Planet’s existing constellation. By accessing Planet’s assets, HEO can potentially increase the frequency and coverage of its space‑situational‑awareness imagery, complementing its current use of Earth‑observation platforms. The partnership underscores the growing trend of commercial firms collaborating to enhance space surveillance and tracking services.
