Maxar Reserves May 15 - June 13 Window for First WorldView Legion Launch

Business Wire
Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), provider of
comprehensive space solutions and secure, precise, geospatial
intelligence, today announces it has reserved a window of May 15,
2022 - June 13, 2022 with SpaceX to launch the first two WorldView
Legion satellites.
WorldView Legion represents both replacement and growth capacity
for Maxar. The six WorldView Legion satellites will fly in both
polar and mid-inclination orbits and provide 30 cm-class
resolution. Higher resolution data has historically garnered better
price levels given its value to customer missions. Adding
satellites in mid-inclination orbits allows Maxar to collect more
imagery in the areas with the most demand, as 95% of the world's
population lives between plus or minus 50 degrees latitude.
WorldView Legion and the existing Maxar constellation assets are
broad area collectors that together will provide revisit rates of
up to 15 times per day for monitoring missions.
This type of high resolution, highly accurate collection
capacity will power wide-area, artificial intelligence and machine
learning modeling, sensor-to-shooter applications and the metaverse
reference globe. They are also key enablers for deriving highly
accurate and lifelike 3D models, which will allow customers to
transition from 2D to 3D capabilities that address critical
missions such as GPS-denied navigation, simulation and training,
autonomy and network planning.
“We continue to execute against our plan to complete the
WorldView Legion program to the highest possible standard of
quality,” said Chris Johnson, Maxar SVP of Space. “Testing of the
first satellites is underway and given the criticality of this
mission and a potentially crowded SpaceX manifest this spring, it
was important to secure this launch window. I am proud of the
team’s progress this year as we make WorldView Legion’s
game-changing capabilities a reality for our government and
commercial customers in 2022.”
