Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), a trusted partner and
innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure, today
announced that it will open a new facility in St. Louis, Missouri,
to support growth in several U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence
Agency (NGA) programs.
The facility will be located in the historic Globe Building, in
the heart of downtown St. Louis. Maxar expects 48 employees to
initially staff the facility, most of whom are new hires that will
support the NGA’s Global EGD, Janus Geography and SBIR Phase III
contracts. St. Louis is the Midwest geospatial hub of the United
States in part due to its proximity to the National Geospatial and
Intelligence Center West facility, the T-REX Geospatial Resource
and Innovation Center and several other commercial GEOINT
companies.
“The establishment of our cutting-edge facility in St. Louis is
a strong reflection of Maxar’s commitment to unlocking the power of
geospatial data for our customers,” said Tony Frazier, Maxar’s
Executive Vice President of Global Field Operations. “This new
facility will provide our customers with easier access to better
geospatial products and insights for success across the breadth of
defense and intelligence missions.”
The operations of DigitalGlobe, SSL (Space Systems Loral) and
Radiant Solutions were unified under the Maxar brand in February;
MDA continues to operate as an independent business unit within the
Maxar organization.
