In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></div><div id="i3f0329c96b90492fb6618077808012bd_13"></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="height:72pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">II-3</font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:93.6pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:0.12pt;text-indent:0.36pt"><font><br></font></div></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">SIGNATURES</font></div><div style="margin-top:12pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:24.5pt"><font style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form&#160;S-8&#160;and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the County of Fairfax, Commonwealth of Virginia, on this 4th day of March, 2022.</font></div><div style="margin-top:0.12pt;padding-left:1.25pt;text-indent:0.36pt"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:99.382%"><tr><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.576%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:56.819%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.421%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.731%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:2.005%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.421%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.731%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:33.372%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.424%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td></tr><tr style="height:11pt"><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="9" style="padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="18" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">BLACKSKY TECHNOLOGY INC.</font></td></tr><tr><td colspan="9" style="padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="9" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">By&#58;</font></td><td colspan="9" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #000000;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">&#47;s&#47;

Explanatory Note
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") includes a reoffer prospectus (the "Reoffer Prospectus") prepared in accordance with General Instruction C to Form S-8 and in accordance with the requirements of Part I of Form S-3. This Reoffer Prospectus may be used for reoffers and resales of shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Class A Common Stock"), of BlackSky Technology Inc. (the "Registrant" or the "Company")
f/k/a Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp., our legal predecessor and a special purpose acquisition company ("SFTW"), on a continuous or delayed basis that may be deemed to be "restricted securities" or "control securities" under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, that are issuable to certain stockholders that are current and former employees, directors, officers, consultants, and/or advisors of the Registrant or its subsidiaries identified in the Reoffer Prospectus (the "Selling Securityholders"). The number of shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Reoffer Prospectus were issued to the Selling Securityholders pursuant to restricted stock units granted under the Registrant's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") prior to the merger (as defined below), and does not necessarily represent a present intention to sell any or all such shares of Class A Common Stock. As specified in General Instruction C of Form S-8, the amount of securities to be reoffered or resold by means of the Reoffer Prospectus by each Selling Securityholder, and any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert for the purpose of selling the Registrant's securities, may not exceed, during any three-month period, the amount specified in Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act.
On September 9, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), the Registrant
consummated its previously announced merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 17, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among SFTW, SFTW Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SFTW ("Merger Sub"), and BlackSky Technology Inc., a Delaware corporation, f/k/a BlackSky Holdings, Inc. ("Legacy BlackSky"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between SFTW and Legacy BlackSky was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy BlackSky, with Legacy BlackSky as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (together with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the "merger"). On the Closing Date, the Registrant changed its name from "Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp." to "BlackSky Technology Inc."
As of the open of trading on September 10, 2021, the Registrant's Class A Common Stock and public warrants, formerly those of SFTW, began trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbols "BKSY" and "BKSY.W," respectively.

Overview
Founded in 2014, BlackSky is a leading provider of real-time geospatial intelligence, imagery, related data analytic products and services and mission systems. We monitor activities and facilities worldwide by processing millions of observations from our own satellite constellation, as well as from a variety of space, Internet of Things (IoT), and terrestrial-based sensors and data feeds.  We process millions of observations daily in our Spectra AI platform, which supports data from satellites in space, air sensors, environmental sensors, asset tracking sensors, IoT connected devices, internet-enabled narrative sources, and a variety of additional geotemporal data feeds. We monitor for economic and pattern-of-life anomalies to produce alerts and enhance situational awareness. Our monitoring service is powered by industry-leading computer techniques including machine learning (
"
ML
"
) and artificial intelligence (
"
AI
"
). Our global real-time awareness monitoring solution is available via access to our proprietary geospatial data and analytics platform and requires basic online infrastructure with little or no setup.
Our proprietary satellite constellation enables high-frequency observation of the Earth. We currently have 12 proprietary satellites in commercial operations and we anticipate that we will be able to revisit targeted locations on Earth with what we believe will be the most frequent Earth observation revisit rate commercially available to  governments and commercial enterprises. This revisit rate is further bolstered with BlackSky's partner constellations, which consists of optical imaging, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and multi-spectral imaging allowing us to provide a comprehensive analysis of the world's most populated and economically active regions. The data we collect from our constellation and other sources populates a proprietary data lake and our Spectra AI platform, through which our customers derive unique insights and commercially valuable information and analytics that informs them and allows them to run their businesses with greater efficiency and certainty.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our Class A Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Before you make a decision to buy our securities, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" starting on page 10 in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on December 16, 2021, in connection with our registration statement on Form S-1 ("Final Prospectus"), which are incorporated by reference herein, and in subsequent reports we file with the SEC, together with the financial and other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Reoffer Prospectus. Our business, operating results, financial condition or prospects could also be harmed by risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently do not believe are material. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our Class A Common Stock could decline and you may lose all or a part of your investment. Only those investors who can bear the risk of loss of their entire investment should invest in our Class A Common Stock.
The risks we have described also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See "
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the Shares covered by this Reoffer Prospectus to permit the Selling Securityholders to conduct public secondary trading of the Shares from time to time after the date of this Reoffer Prospectus. As used herein, references to "Selling Securityholders" includes donees, pledgees, transferees, distributees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of Class A Common Stock received after the date of this Reoffer Prospectus from a Selling Securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution, or other transfer.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered by this Reoffer Prospectus. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholders from the sale of the Shares will be the purchase price of the Shares less any discounts and commissions. We will not pay any brokers' or underwriters' discounts and commissions in connection with the registration and sale of the Shares covered by this Reoffer Prospectus. The Selling Securityholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by them for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by them in disposing of the Shares. We will bear the costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Shares covered by this Reoffer Prospectus, including all registration and filing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm. The Selling Securityholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their respective agents, to reject, any proposed purchases of the Shares to be made directly or through agents.
The Shares offered by this Reoffer Prospectus may be sold from time to time to purchasers:
•
directly by the Selling Securityholders;
•
through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, commissions or agent's commissions from the Selling Securityholders or the purchasers of the Shares; or
•
through a combination of any of these methods of sale.
Any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who participate in the sale or distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act. As a result, any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agents who are deemed to be underwriters will be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Selling Securityholders may agree to indemnify any broker, dealer, or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the Shares against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares arising under the Securities Act. We will make copies of this Reoffer Prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the Selling Securityholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the Shares by the Selling Securityholders.
The Shares may be sold in one or more transactions at:
•
fixed prices;
•
prevailing market prices at the time of sale;
•
prices related to such prevailing market prices;
•
varying prices determined at the time of sale; or
•
negotiated prices.
These sales may be effected in one or more transactions:
•
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including NYSE;
•
in the over-the-counter market;
8
•
in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market;
•
through trading plans entered into by the Selling Securityholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;
•
any other method permitted by applicable law; or
•
through any combination of the foregoing.
These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade.
At the time a particular offering of the Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the name of the Selling Securityholders, the aggregate amount of Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including, to the extent required, (1) the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, (2) any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Securityholders and (3) any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed to be paid to broker-dealers.
The Selling Securityholders also may transfer the securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Reoffer Prospectus. Upon being notified by a Selling Securityholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee, other successor-in-interest intends to sell our Shares, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this Reoffer Prospectus to name specifically such person as a Selling Securityholder.
The Selling Securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each resale or other transfer. There can be no assurance that the Selling Securityholders will sell any or all the Shares under this Reoffer Prospectus. Further, we cannot assure you that the Selling Securityholders will not transfer, distribute, devise or gift the Shares by other means not described in this Reoffer Prospectus. In addition, any Shares covered by this Reoffer Prospectus that qualify for sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this Reoffer Prospectus. The Shares may be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.
The Selling Securityholders and any other person participating in the sale of the Shares will be subject to the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Shares by the Selling Securityholders and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular securities being distributed. This may affect the marketability of the Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Shares.
Once sold under the registration statement of which this Reoffer Prospectus forms a part, the shares of Class A Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
For additional information regarding expenses of registration, see the section titled "Use of Proceeds" appearing elsewhere in this Reoffer Prospectus.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Certain members of, and investment partnerships comprised of members of, and persons associated with, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, directly or indirectly, own less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Registrant's Class A Common Stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that its officers and directors will be indemnified by the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, the Registrant's certificate of
II-<#>
incorporation provides that its directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to the Registrant or its stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law as it now exists or may in the future be amended. The Registrant's certificate of incorporation also authorizes it to indemnify its officers, directors and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's bylaws provide that:
•
the Registrant may indemnify its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions;
•
the Registrant may advance expenses to its directors, officers and employees in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions; and
•
the rights provided in the Registrant's bylaws are not exclusive.
The Registrant's certificate of incorporation and its bylaws provide for the indemnification provisions described above and elsewhere herein. The Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with its directors, officers and certain other employees of the Registrant that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Registrant has entered into agreements with its officers, directors and certain other employees of the Registrant to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in its certificate of incorporation. The Registrant's bylaws also permit it to maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification. The Registrant has obtained a policy of director's and officer's liability insurance that insures its officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures the Registrant against its obligations to indemnify its officers and directors. These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
The issuance of the outstanding shares being offered by the Reoffer Prospectus that were issued between September 10, 2021 and the date of this Registration Statement through the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act as transactions pursuant to benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701. The recipients represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates. The recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with the Registrant, to information about the Registrant.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The Registrant has filed the exhibits listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index of this Registration Statement.

Item 9. Undertakings.
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(1)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(2)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
