With this award, Maxar will continue providing more than 400,000
U.S. government users with unclassified, online and offline,
on-demand access to high-resolution commercial imagery. Access to
geospatial data and products from other commercial industry
providers such as BlackSky and Planet Labs PBC are also available
through the Electro-Optical Commercial Layer contract. Since 2011,
the G-EGD program has enabled warfighters, first responders,
intelligence analysts and civil government users to tap into
Maxar’s 125 petabyte imagery archive and daily imagery collections
for time-sensitive, mission-critical planning and operations.
“G-EGD has been instrumental in enabling NGA to provide
unclassified access to satellite imagery for a wide range of U.S.
government users and partners throughout the war in Ukraine,” said
Dan Jablonsky, Maxar President and Chief Executive Officer. “As the
provider of G-EGD, Maxar is proud to help advance the U.S.
government’s long history of providing global security and
humanitarian initiatives with geospatial data and imagery.”
During G-EGD Option Year 2, NGA developed a roadmap to integrate
five commercial synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data providers into
the G-EGD platform by the end of 2023. To date, Maxar has developed
ingest solutions for SAR data from Capella Space and ICEYE, to
include data visualization and complete product discovery and
delivery methods. Maxar will continue data integration efforts for
Umbra and PredaSAR, a Terran Orbital Company, throughout Option
Year 3.
Anyone who supports a U.S. Government mission may request
authorization to access G-EGD. With more than 1.1 million square
kilometers of new imagery uploaded each day, users have access to
current imagery as well as more than 6 billion square kilometers of
archived imagery for time sensitive, mission-critical planning and
operations. Connect with your government point of contact to
determine eligibility.
Maxar’s G-EGD team also offers monthly training webinars to
educate government users on how to access and make the best use of
the program. Click here or email deftechsupport@maxar.com to learn
