| Commitments and Contingencies | 17. Commitments and Contingencies Leases During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company entered into a new operating lease for office space with a commencement date in June 2026 and an expiration date in May 2037. As a result, the Company recognized an operating lease right-of-use asset and a long-term operating lease liability of $2.4 million in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets during the period. The Company leases office space under several non-cancellable operating leases with varying lease expiration dates through 2037. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable office leases as of June 30, 2026 are as follows:
Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company may become involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, that, by their nature, are inherently unpredictable. Regardless of outcome, litigation and other legal proceedings can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. On May 7, 2024, a putative class action relating to the Merger of Legacy BlackSky on September 9, 2021 with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osprey was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The action was captioned Drulias v. Osprey Sponsor II, LLC, et al. (“Drulias”) (Del. Ch. 2024). The Drulias complaint asserted breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims against the former directors of Osprey (the “Osprey Board”); the former officers of Osprey; and Osprey Sponsor II, LLC (the “Sponsor”); and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty claims against HEPCO Capital Management, LLC; JANA Partners LLC; and a director of Legacy BlackSky. The Drulias complaint sought, among other things, damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. The terms of the Merger required the Company to indemnify the directors of Osprey. On May 8, 2024, a putative class action relating to the Merger was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The action was captioned Cheriyala v. Osprey Sponsor II, LLC (“Cheriyala”) (Del. Ch. 2024). The Cheriyala complaint asserted breach of fiduciary duty claims against the former directors of the Osprey Board, the former officers of Osprey, and the Sponsor; aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty claims against BlackSky Holdings, Inc. and certain directors and officers of Legacy BlackSky; and unjust enrichment claims against an Osprey director. The Cheriyala complaint sought, among other things, damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Court of Chancery granted Drulias’ motion to (i) consolidate the Drulias and Cheriyala actions, and (ii) appoint Drulias as lead plaintiff, and Drulias’ counsel as lead counsel, in the consolidated action. On April 15, 2025, Drulias sought to withdraw as the lead plaintiff. That same day, Patrick Plumley (“Plumley”) moved to intervene as a plaintiff in the consolidated action. The Court of Chancery granted Cheriyala’s and Plumley’s stipulation to (i) permit Drulias to withdraw as the lead plaintiff, (ii) permit Plumley to intervene as a plaintiff, and (iii) appoint Cheriyala and Plumley as co-lead plaintiffs, and Cheriyala’s and Plumley’s counsel as co-lead counsel, in the consolidated action. The parties attended private mediation on September 9, 2025. The parties thereafter reached an agreement on a stipulation of settlement memorializing the terms of the settlement, which was filed with the Court of Chancery on January 7, 2026 (the “Settlement”). In the Settlement, the parties agreed, among other things, that (i) the consolidated actions would be dismissed with prejudice, (ii) the defendants and the Company would be released from claims asserted in the consolidated actions or that could have been asserted in the actions relating to, among other things, the Merger, and (iii) in exchange, members of the class would be paid settlement consideration of $7.5 million, $7.4 million of which was funded from insurance proceeds pursuant to a plan of allocation set forth in the stipulation. A hearing with the Court of Chancery to consider approval of the Settlement and related matters was held on April 17, 2026. During the hearing, the Court (i) certified the consolidated actions as class actions, (ii) approved the Settlement, including the plan of allocation, (iii) approved an award of fees and expenses to plaintiffs’ counsel payable out of the settlement fund, and (iv) approved the payment of an incentive fee to plaintiffs. The Court of Chancery entered its final judgment on April 21, 2026. The costs of this case, including the pending Settlement, have been substantially funded from insurance proceeds and did not have a material impact on the Company's operations or financial condition. Other Commitments During 2025, the Company entered into a commitment for non-refundable multi-launch and integration services as well as a commercial agreement with financing terms for these launches. The launch services agreement contains a minimum commitment that was satisfied as of June 30, 2026 by the Company's $11.9 million debt under the commercial agreement. See Note 11—"Debt and Other Financing" for further detail on the satellite launch vendor financing. The Company has entered into various operational commitments for the next several years totaling $24.8 million as of June 30, 2026.
