Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 (the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X and other rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report. There were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company conducts business through one operating and reporting segment.
Consolidation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees, have been eliminated in consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in United States dollars (hereinafter “U.S. dollars” or “$”).
Credit risk management
Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to us. We are exposed to credit risk from financial assets including cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash held at banks, accounts receivable and other receivables.

The credit risk is managed based on our credit risk management policies and procedures. Credit risk of any entity doing business with us is systematically analyzed, including aspects of a qualitative nature. The measurement and assessment of our total exposure to credit risk covers all financial instruments involving any counterparty risk.
The credit risk in respect of cash balances held with banks and deposits with banks are managed via diversification of bank deposits and are only with major reputable financial institutions.
As our risk exposure is mainly influenced by the individual characteristics of each customer, we continuously analyze the creditworthiness of significant customers. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and generally on terms of 30 to 90 days.
Impairment of Assets
Impairment of Assets

We assess potential impairments to long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets or asset group. We performed an impairment test as of June 30, 2026 due to our operating losses and net cash used in operations for the six months then ended and concluded that the asset group is not impaired.
Estimates of future cash flows are highly subjective judgments based on management’s experience and knowledge of the Company's operations. These estimates can be significantly impacted by many factors, including changes in global economic conditions, operating costs, obsolescence of technology and competition.
If estimates or underlying assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges. If the fair value of an asset group is less than its carrying amount, then the carrying amount of the asset group would be reduced to its fair value. That reduction is an impairment loss that would be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Foreign Currencies
Foreign Currencies
Aggregate foreign currency gains and losses, such as those resulting from the settlement of receivables or payables, contracts denominated in foreign currencies and short-term intercompany advances in a currency other than the relevant subsidiary’s functional currency, are recorded currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss (included in other income (expense), net)

Revenue
Remaining Performance Obligations

Effective October 1, 2025, the Company elected to change its method of disclosing remaining performance obligations ("RPO"). Historically, the Company utilized the practical expedient available under ASC 606-10-50-14, which allowed for the exclusion of contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

This change impacted disclosure only and had no effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which establishes a five‑step model for recognizing revenue: (i) identification of the contract with a customer, (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determination of the transaction price, (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Nature of Goods and Services

The Company generates revenue primarily from the following primary revenue streams:
Product revenue, which consists of sales of satellites, including newly manufactured satellites and, in certain cases, in-orbit satellites.
Service revenue, which consists primarily of the sale of satellite imagery, subscription-based arrangements, data analytics, and services related to our satellite sales.

Product Revenue — Satellite Sales
Product revenue is derived from contracts for the sale of satellites. At contract inception, the Company evaluates whether the contract includes a single performance obligation to transfer a satellite or multiple performance obligations. For contracts in which the satellite and any related promised services are determined to be distinct, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative stand-alone selling prices, or, if stand-alone selling prices are not available, the transaction price is allocated based on an estimate using other appropriate valuation techniques.

Revenue from the sale of a manufactured or in-orbit satellite is generally recognized at a point in time when control and title of the satellite transfers to the customer.

Service Revenue — Imagery Sales, Subscription-based Arrangements, and Data Analytics

Service revenue consists primarily of sales of satellite imagery and related services, which may be provided on a per‑image basis or through subscription‑based arrangements that provide customers with satellite capacity to provide access to imagery tasking over a defined contract term. Accordingly, the sales of satellite imagery are treated as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a point in time when the imagery is delivered or made available to the customer. Subscription-based arrangements are a separate, distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized over time as the Company delivers promises outlined in the contract to the customer. In addition, services associated with our satellite sales, such as training and integration services, are evaluated to determine distinct performance obligations and for those performance obligations, revenue is typically recognized over time.
Equity Securities
Equity Securities

Effective January 1, 2026, the Company transitioned the accounting for its 4.7% interest in Officina Stellare from the Equity Method (ASC 323) to Fair Value through Net Income (ASC 321).

The Company’s OS investment transitioned to and is now classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement, as OS has a Readily Determinable Fair Value in the Euronext Growth Milan market, which management determined to be a market not actively traded under ASC 820-10-35-48b due to low trading volume relative to the Company’s holding.
As part of its “mark-to-market” fair value remeasurement on January 1, 2026, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $5.3 million on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, as amended by ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): clarifying the Effective Date, which requires a new footnote disclosure for public entities to disaggregate, in a tabular format, certain relevant expense captions on the face of the income statement (e.g., cost of sales, SG&A) that include any of the following natural expenses: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and certain depletion expenses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the effect on the Company’s disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which amends the guidance for capitalizing costs related to internal-use software. The ASU removes the prescriptive, sequential project stages (preliminary project stage, application development stage, and post-implementation/operation stage) and replaces them with a "probable-to-complete recognition threshold." The ASU also clarifies that the disclosure requirements for Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) apply to all capitalized internal-use software costs, and the specific intangibles disclosures in Topic 350 are not required. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual periods, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270), which centralizes interim disclosure requirements and codifies a "disclosure principle" requiring an explanation of material changes occurring since the most recent annual period. As the Company currently adheres to similar requirements under SEC Regulation S-X Rule 8-03, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to significantly change current interim reporting practices. The amendments are effective for the Company for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance prospectively and does not anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.
