Business Wire
Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), a trusted partner and
innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure, today
announced two new customers signed multi-million-dollar contracts
to subscribe to its Rapid Access Program (RAP), including the first
customer for RAP in Latin America.
RAP provides customers with a secure web interface to virtually
task Maxar’s high-resolution satellites through on-demand access
windows. Maxar delivers high-resolution imagery within hours of
collection due to streamlined processing and dissemination. By
using cloud-based ground stations, RAP decreases the cost of
actionable intelligence for our customers with accelerated speed
and control. RAP customers also have high priority tasking on Maxar
satellites, critical for urgent mission requirements. When Maxar’s
next-generation WorldView Legion satellites are on orbit and
operational, RAP customers will be among the first to be able to
task them to collect 30 cm class imagery.
“Maxar’s Rapid Access Program provides customers with assured
access to task our satellites without the need for a physical
ground station,” said Tony Frazier, Maxar’s Executive Vice
President of Global Field Operations. “This lower barrier to entry
for tasking provides opportunities for Maxar to serve our RAP
customers with the high-quality imagery that they have come to
depend on while offering them greater autonomy in tasking the most
agile satellites on orbit. Maxar is grateful to be a strategic
partner in these customers’ missions, enabling them to make
critical decisions and save lives, resources and time.”
National Institute of Aeronautics and Space of Indonesia (LAPAN)
is Maxar’s second RAP customer in the Asia-Pacific region. LAPAN
will task Maxar’s high-resolution satellite imagery to accelerate
mapping missions in Indonesia, including land certification,
industrial priority zones and special economic zones. Additionally,
LAPAN will receive Maxar’s 15 cm high-definition (HD) imagery,
which is created by applying Maxar's proprietary HD technology to
the company’s native 30 cm class imagery, resulting in superior
visual clarity and utility.
“LAPAN is excited to start tasking the Maxar constellation for
our mapping missions,” said Dedi Irawadi, Acting Director of Remote
Sensing Technology and Data Center at LAPAN. “Having assured access
via RAP to collect imagery of the areas we’re focused on and
receiving 15 cm HD imagery will enable our analysts to create
actionable intelligence on faster timelines.”
The Colombian Air Force is the second new RAP customer and the
first international defense organization in Latin America to
partner with Maxar in the program. The customer will use RAP for
mission planning and monitoring areas of interest. The contract
also includes access to Maxar’s SecureWatch subscription service
for on-demand access to more than 125 petabytes of Maxar’s
high-resolution satellite data and analytics. The customer will
integrate SecureWatch into their analysts’ workflows to enable
surveillance and monitoring of national territory and the
environment. By tasking new, high-resolution satellite imagery
through the RAP and viewing it in context via SecureWatch, Colombia
will benefit from space-based information as a strategic tool for
national sovereignty.
