SDA selects BlackSky, LeoStella to support HALO program

The Space Development Agency, or SDA, has selected LeoStella to support the Hybrid Acquisition for Proliferated Low-Earth Orbit, or HALO, program. This is a novel opportunity for nontraditional defense contractors to work directly with SDA for rapid on-orbit mission feasibility prototypes. Partnering with BlackSky (BKSY), as a subcontractor for this competitive program, LeoStella, as a small satellite manufacturer, is now pre-qualified to work directly with SDA to develop on-orbit mission-feasibility prototypes. With this award, LeoStella and BlackSky can compete for upcoming Tranche 3 SDA opportunities.
