Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
HEO is an Australian company (Sydney) and the category creator of commercial non-Earth imaging (photographing satellites from other satellites), with seven first-generation camera missions and its Adler Mk2 GEO-hardened camera flying in 2026, plus >50 sensors accessible after a Planet SkySat integration (August 2026). It is the asset-light space-domain-awareness model (cameras in the right place, not big satellites), acquired Satellogic's NewSat-34 (Australia's first sovereign sub-meter imaging asset), and moved its NRO relationship to operational integration (a February 2026 CSO contract). Revenue is estimated at 10-100m (the NRO contract is small-dollar, seven-figure class).

12 facts on file.
Lockheed Martin builds spacecraft platforms including LM 400, GPS III, OPIR, and missile-warning satellites for government and defense customers.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Lockheed Martin's space segment (~$13B annual revenue) has the deepest prime bench in national-security space: Orion (Artemis), GPS III, classified sensor programs, an SDA Tranche 3 win (December 2025), Terran Orbital as its smallsat manufacturing arm, and a HawkEye 360 investment. Its venture arm and Terran absorption show a build-buy-invest triple play. Segment financials are program-scoped (a filings pass owed).
