## Resource

How is satellite data evolving from passive observation into real-time decision-making? In this episode, BlackSky : How Is BlackSky Turning Space Data Into Real-Time Decisions? , we welcome new SSPI member BlackSky and explore how speed is redefining the value of space-based intelligence. Joined by Katelyn Fobes , the conversation unpacks how BlackSky combines high-frequency satellite imagery with AI-driven analytics to detect anomalies and deliver actionable insights within hours, and sometimes minutes, of collection. From tracking aircraft and maritime activity to supporting disaster response, the focus is on operational relevance… not just data. We also explore how commercial space is reshaping government missions, the role of human-in-the-loop decision-making, and why workforce, mentorship, and community are central to how BlackSky is showing up as a new SSPI member.
