HEO secures $25M for flyby satellite imagery tech
An Australian startup uses sensors on satellites to capture images of other spacecraft in orbit. HEO has now raised $25 million in Series B funding, with Axios reporting the round first. The company’s approach relies on ‘flyby’ imaging rather than stationary observation.

“This funding round underscores growing investor interest in space situational awareness, a niche but critical segment as orbital congestion rises.”
What it means
HEO’s model leverages existing satellite infrastructure to monitor other objects, which could reduce costs compared to dedicated observation satellites. The Series B suggests confidence in its scalability, though competition in space tracking is intensifying. Success may hinge on regulatory adoption and partnerships with defense or commercial space operators.
