Vantor Wins $2.3M NGA Contract for Real-Time Orbital Intelligence

Vantor Wins NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) Contract for Real-Time Orbital Intelligence

Vantor has secured a $2.3 million contract from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to deliver automated, near real-time orbital intelligence under the Luno B program.

The award supports the agency’s broader effort to integrate commercial capabilities into national security space operations.

Under the contract, Vantor will provide non-Earth imagery (NEI) capabilities to monitor high-interest objects in low Earth orbit. Its satellites are designed to capture high-resolution imagery of space objects from hundreds of kilometers away, enabling detailed analysis of an object’s condition, movement, and potential anomalies.

The company’s platform combines imaging with automated data analysis to generate alerts when unusual behavior is detected. This approach is intended to accelerate the delivery of actionable insights for space domain awareness, helping analysts identify risks to U.S. space assets and better understand the behavior of objects in orbit.

The Luno program is part of NGA’s push toward more agile acquisition models, leveraging commercial geospatial intelligence and analytics providers.

Luno B, which could scale to a larger contract vehicle, is designed to expand access to advanced data and analytics across the national security community.

Vantor has previously supported the program with capabilities such as land-use change detection and AI-enabled object identification, positioning the company as a recurring contributor to NGA’s commercial intelligence ecosystem.
