SPACE.COM - Blue Origin has announced a partnership with Scout Space, a company focused on orbital domain awareness and safety in space. Scout's Owl sensor will be the first payload to fly on Blue Origin's Blue Ring spacecraft, integrating the advanced space domain awareness (SDA) sensor into the payload delivery vehicle.
The mission is expected to launch in Spring 2026, and will deliver the Owl sensor to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), before the instrument transitions to operational activities in geostationary orbit (GEO).
Note: Blue Origin is headquartered in Kent.
