Maxar Technologies Extends Contract with Esri for Highest Quality Satellite Imagery Mosaics
July 08 2019 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR) today announced that
it signed a three-year contract to continue providing its Vivid and
Metro satellite imagery mosaics to Esri’s ArcGIS Living Atlas of
the World. This new contract builds upon Esri and Maxar’s long-term
partnership and demonstrates Esri’s commitment to providing ArcGIS
users with the highest quality satellite imagery foundation
available.
Esri’s ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World is a collection of
geographic information from around the world, including maps, apps
and data layers. The World Imagery map of Living Atlas uses Maxar’s
Vivid and Metro imagery mosaic products, which include some of the highest resolution,
most accurate and visually consistent global image mosaics
available on the market and updated annually. As part of Maxar’s
continued efforts to innovate and enhance its products, Esri will
receive a new version of Vivid that more than doubles the
horizontal accuracy of imagery pixels, thus making the vector
features extracted by ArcGIS creators even more precise. Esri’s
contract includes up to 1,000 of Maxar’s 6,000 Metro imagery
mosaics, which provides global, off-the-shelf access to recent
imagery of specific cities. ArcGIS end users will also have access
to Maxar’s NaturalVue ® 2.0 image mosaic and National Urban Change
Indicator (NUCI) through the Living Atlas Catalog, which was
announced earlier this year.
“Over the last decade, Maxar and Esri have partnered to combine
the best commercial satellite imagery with the most advanced
geospatial tools on the market within a unified experience,” said
Tony Frazier, Maxar’s Executive Vice President of Global Field
Operations. “This latest contract demonstrates both companies’
enduring commitment to innovation for Esri end users and the global
GIS community.”
“Maxar’s dedication to creating high-quality products allows us
to continue offering ArcGIS users better and better satellite
imagery for their analysis,” said Richard Cooke, Esri’s Director of
Global Remote Sensing & Imagery. “The improved horizontal
accuracy of Vivid and continuous updates to Metro allow the Esri
community to improve the certainty of their work and increase the
confidence in their decision-making.”
Maxar’s new image mosaic layers will be made available to ArcGIS
users continuously within Esri’s Living Atlas throughout the next
three years of this extended agreement. Come and see Vivid and
Metro in action at Maxar’s booth (#627) at the Esri User Conference
in San Diego, Calif. from July 8-12, 2019.
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.
