October 13 2020 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), a trusted partner and
innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure, today
announced that its longtime partner Esri has signed a multi-million
dollar contract extension to continue licensing data for the ArcGIS
Living Atlas of the World through 2023. This expanded agreement
ensures access to Maxar imagery by the millions of ArcGIS users
worldwide. It also provides expanded rights to empower the growing
community of Esri developers focused on commercial location-based
applications to integrate Maxar imagery products for the first
time.
Esri recently named Maxar a 2020 Cornerstone Partner, marking a
20-year partnership of dedication to the geographic information
systems (GIS) community. Maxar continues to be Esri’s foundation
imagery provider, supplying high-resolution satellite imagery for
the Living Atlas of the World, a collection of geographic
information layers and data sets for the world, including maps,
apps and data layers and population statistics of all types. These
Maxar products are available in the Living Atlas:
- Vivid and Metro are the highest resolution, most accurate and
visually consistent global imagery basemaps made from Maxar
satellite imagery available on the market.
- NaturalVue® 2.0is an image mosaic that combines more than
60,000 Landsat 8 images to create a seamless, virtually cloud-free,
15-meter basemap that reflects the Earth’s true colors.
- National Urban Change Indicator (NUCI) is a commercial urban
change detection product that highlights areas of new construction
activity by isolating changes that persist over time, derived from
more than 13,000 Landsat images.
“Maxar is exceptionally proud to continue its longstanding
partnership with Esri, one of many organizations whose users demand
the unrivaled quality of our imagery products,” said Dan Jablonsky,
Maxar CEO. “The investments we’re making in our next-generation
WorldView Legion satellites ensure that we will be able to continue
delivering these imagery products to our customers for many years
to come.”
“Esri is excited to leverage the power of Maxar’s commercial
imagery as a key component of our global Living Atlas. Their
offerings provide our company with exceptional quality, both in
resolution and geometric accuracy,” said Jack Dangermond, Esri
Founder and President. “While many of our GIS and mapping customers
already use Maxar’s multi-band imagery with Esri’s powerful image
processing software, this new agreement is a game-changer. It will
open up Maxar’s beautiful global imagery to Esri’s rapidly growing
community of location-focused app developers, enabling them to
leverage Esri’s next generation geospatial APIs to easily integrate
Maxar’s imagery into their applications.”
