BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE:BKSY) shares are trading higher Tuesday after the company announced it signed a seven-figure Assured extension contract with an international customer.

Assured Contract Expands Into Annual Subscription

BlackSky signed a seven-figure assured extension contract with an international customer to provide continued access to the company’s dual-generation, tip-and-cue architecture.

The agreement follows strong performance during early access programs for the company’s Gen-3 capabilities and reflects a transition to a larger annual subscription.

The contract provides access to BlackSky’s architecture, combining Gen-2 revisit rates with high-resolution Gen-3 imagery. BlackSky said it continues to expand the Gen-3 constellation with unit four recently delivering first light imagery within hours following launch.

“Annual, recurring commitments for Assured represent a positive, natural evolution as early access programs pivot into long-term customer relationships across our expanding international portfolio,” said CEO Brian O’Toole.

RSI is at 56.15, which sits in neutral territory and suggests the stock has room to move without being stretched. Meanwhile, MACD is at 0.4789 versus a 0.1996 signal line, a bullish configuration that points to improving upside momentum.
