Used an Earth Observation satellite to image another spacecraft in 2020. Their software, combined with the Korean Kompsat-3 satellite provided millisecond accuracy to take the image from a distance of over 300 km. Their software was critical to compensate for the 10 km/s relative closing velocity between the Kompsat-3 and the ISS.
