This was the second of BlackSky’s Gen-3 satellites to reach orbit, after one launched on another Electron in February. The Gen-3 satellites can provide imagery at a resolution of 35 centimeters as well as perform observations at short-wave infrared wavelengths that can penetrate smoke and haze. The satellites also have intersatellite links to decrease latency.
