With the launch of Holmes and the development of Adler, HEO aims to redefine space exploration, revolutionise our understanding of in-orbit spacecraft, and drive Australia’s leadership in the global space industry.
HEO delivers on-demand NEI and information on spacecraft of interest. Using an innovative software platform, HEO Inspect, and a network of space-based cameras, they rapidly identify spacecraft and assess their status, operation and anomalous behaviours.
The Holmes Imager is HEO’s first non-Earth imaging camera, providing enhanced coverage and versatility in space imaging. It is designed and developed to deliver high resolution in a compact form on micro-sized satellites. The first Holmes model was launched to space in June 2023. Adler is HEO’s second imager, representing a significant leap in NEI technology.
HEO Inspect allows customers to task in-orbit sensors to collect resolved imagery of space objects from any internet-connected device and receive results within 24 hours of successful capture. HEO leverages third-party sensors already in space and hosts their proprietary Holmes or Adler imagers on multi-use space vehicles to extend orbital coverage. HEO’s technology can turn single-capability satellites into multi-use capability satellites to make the most of their time in orbit without compromising core mission objectives.
This month marked a milestone achievement for HEO as their second Holmes Imager was successfully launched into space aboard the Space Machines Company’s Optimus satellite. This accomplishment highlights the seamless collaboration between HEO, UTS Tech Lab, and Space Machines Company, demonstrating the power of industry partnerships in driving space innovation.
The HEO Laboratory at UTS Tech Lab will serve as a hub for, development, and production of HEO’s space cameras. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by expert engineers, the lab will accelerate the advancement of space imaging technology and help position Australia in the global space industry.
We are thrilled to partner with UTS Tech Lab in our mission to revolutionise space imaging technology. The collaborative environment and world-class facilities at UTS Tech Lab provide the ideal platform for us to develop and manufacture cutting-edge space cameras that will shape the future of non-Earth imaging. Dr William Crowe, CEO of HEO.
We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with HEO in advancing space imaging technology. Through partnerships like this, we are driving innovation and strengthening Australia’s position in the global space industry. Professor Robert Fitch, Director of UTS Tech Lab.
