HEO was founded in Sydney, Australia, with the goal of visiting and collecting data on as many asteroids as possible. Our long-term vision is to enable a future where in-space resources fuel space exploration and services, moving beyond the unsustainable practice of launching all space infrastructure from Earth. While asteroid exploration remains the ultimate objective, HEO's immediate focus is on inspecting satellites from other satellites. This approach leverages the same "flyby" technology developed for asteroid visits to provide cost-effective and high-frequency inspections of spacecraft in Earth orbit.
Today, HEO delivers on-demand, high frequency imagery and insights on the most important assets in space. We are building out a network of NEI sensors by partnering with Earth observation satellite constellations and launching our own cameras as hosted payloads to achieve proliferation of NEI sensors across all orbits in the Earth-Moon system. HEO deploys highly autonomous software to monitor spacecraft at scale for government, defence, and commercial customers. We are headquartered in Australia with offices in the UK and USA.
HEO values custodianship, sustainability and trust. We believe that understanding objects in space is the pivotal breakthrough needed for humanity’s spacefaring future. This understanding can help us solve problems, help us de-escalate, and build a sustainable future in space.
