Overview
- HEO says repeated non‑Earth imaging identified a large deployed dish and a synthetic aperture radar antenna on XJY‑7.
- The company built a verified high‑fidelity 3D model from multi‑angle observations, including simultaneous captures from two satellites.
- HEO reports the spacecraft relied on full‑body rotation to charge fixed solar arrays, revealing an operational power strategy.
- Independent tracker Marco Langbroek attributed a bright October 16 reentry over the Canary Islands to XJY‑7 based on orbital analysis.
- HEO cites roughly 4,000 low‑Earth‑orbit imaging operations and plans to extend services to the geostationary belt as non‑Earth imaging deepens space domain awareness.
