Maxar inks government contracts in Asia

WESTMINSTER — Maxar Intelligence, one of the business divisions created with the 2023 split of Maxar Technologies Inc., recently inked a pair of contracts with Asian governments that total $35 million.

“Both contracts are built around a Direct Access Program offering and include several ‘firsts,’ including the first purchase of direct access to 30 cm class WorldView Legion imagery and the first use of Maxar’s virtual constellation capability in the (Asia Pacific) region to directly task ultra high-resolution synthetic aperture radar imagery from Maxar partner Umbra,” the company said in a news release.

Maxar did not specify the governments involved in the new contracts. 

“With rising geopolitical insecurity around the world, our customers need more advanced geospatial insights that can provide them with near real-time situational awareness over key areas of interest,” Maxar general manager Anders Linder said in the release.
