WESTMINSTER, CO, April 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Maxar
Technologies (NYSE: MAXR) (TSX: MAXR), a global technology
innovator powering the new space economy, today announced that
Vulcan Inc. has signed a multi-year EarthWatch subscription, a
cloud-based product for viewing, streaming and downloading Maxar's
industry-leading geospatial data, which will be used to develop
solutions to Vulcan's impact
projects which address some of the world's toughest challenges,
like detecting and identifying illegal, unreported and unregulated
(IUU) fishing for law enforcement. The operations of DigitalGlobe,
SSL and Radiant Solutions were unified under the Maxar brand in
February; MDA continues to operate as an independent business unit
within the Maxar organization.
By using EarthWatch, Vulcan Domain Awareness Systems will have
access to the highest resolution and most accurate optical
satellite imagery commercially available, which will be key to
supporting impact projects like:
- Enabling strategic intelligence and trafficking analysis for
anti-poaching activities.
- Providing a broader understanding of the complex reef
ecosystems for protecting these vital environments.
- Bringing reliable power and connectivity to underserved
areas.
"EarthWatch allows us to easily incorporate Maxar's
industry-leading imagery into our various Impact programs," said
Art Min, Vulcan's Vice President of Impact. "By
combining our technology with EarthWatch, we'll deliver actionable
insight into the hands of decision makers faster so they can make
choices with confidence to create societal and environmental
benefits here on Earth."
"Vulcan's varied use of
EarthWatch demonstrates the value of satellite imagery to a large
number of different industries where accuracy and resolution
matters," said Paul Granito, Maxar's
Vice President of Global Sales. "Through this partnership, Maxar
will help protect savannah and marine habitats and the livelihoods
of millions of people, fulfilling our purpose of Building a Better
World."
