SkyWatch and Maxar have engaged in a multi-year agreement that enables the distribution of Maxar’s high-resolution satellite imagery to SkyWatch’s global customer base* via the SkyWatch platform.
Through this partnership, SkyWatch customers will have access to Maxar’s high-quality archive and tasking capabilities, including 50 cm, 30 cm, and 15 cm HD resolution imagery from the Maxar constellation, including the recently launched WorldView Legion satellites. The addition of Maxar data significantly strengthens the growing list of geospatial data products available on the SkyWatch platform.
Maxar uses the power of geospatial data and technology to help customers get mission-critical insights, faster. The company owns and operates the most advanced Earth imaging constellation of satellites, which collect the highest resolution satellite imagery commercially available. Maxar builds cutting-edge products and solutions to enable customers to access reliable answers for actionable intelligence. SkyWatch will use an API from Maxar Geospatial Platform (MGP) Pro, which enables access to Maxar’s archive and tasking capabilities. The integration work is expected to be completed in Q4 2024.
“Since launching the first commercial Earth imaging satellite decades ago, Maxar has been recognized globally as the leading source of Earth observation data,” said James Slifierz, Co-Founder and CEO at SkyWatch. “This collaboration brings immense value to our customers, and offering Maxar’s advanced imagery products will enable diverse applications and innovation across industries.”
“SkyWatch enables easier access to commercial satellite imagery, which we believe empowers businesses to make more informed decisions, so we’re pleased that they will now offer our very high-resolution satellite imagery on their platform,” said Paul Granito, Maxar’s Senior Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise. “The resolution and accuracy of Maxar’s imagery is unmatched so we’re excited to make it available to more users.”
