NASA's orbiting Earth-monitoring spacecraft
are aging. NASA's Earth Science Division
wants to evaluate other data sources to see if
commercial data can be used as an alternative
to NASA building, launching and operating
new spacecraft.
PROBLEM
NASA-funded researchers are using Maxar's
high-resolution, commercial electro-optical
satellite imager y to advance the agency's
science and application development goals to
understand and explore Earth, improve lives
and safeguard our future.
IMPACT
The detail contained in Maxar's commercial
Earth observation data provides NASA
scientists with unrivaled information about
the environments they're studying.
