We’ve successfully completed the spacecraft Accommodation Critical Design Review for the On-Orbit Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing (OSAM-1) mission. OSAM-1 will refuel a satellite in low Earth orbit not designed to be serviced.
We’ve built eight satellites for the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration since the 1970s and we’re now leveraging this experience to once again support the agency in defining solutions for its next-generation Earth observation system. Learn more about this mission in our 2020 Impact Report.
We’re committed to the St. Louis area with an emphasis on workforce diversity, including an expanded partnership with Harris-Stowe State University and a new mapping project with the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency for which a portion of the work will be performed in St. Louis.
Maxar to lead the SpaceNet project and continue to foster innovation in computer vision for satellite imagery.
Learn how Maxar, along with other space-based companies, use AWS to help astronauts, scientists and everyday heroes do their jobs better.
Take a look behind the technology, which Maxar is building, that will be powering a NASA mission that will explore a metallic asteroid for the first time.
We’re pleased to announce the delivery of the Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) Chassis to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory for the NASA Discovery Mission, Psyche. The SEP Chassis is based on our 1300-class platform, the world’s most trusted spacecraft, which provided NASA the opportunity to budget, design and build the historic Mission To Psyche on flight-proven, commercially developed hardware.
Our purpose, For A Better World, is the North Star for all we do. It influences our decisions and guides our efforts to use Maxar’s capabilities to deliver insights about Earth and to support the exploration of space. Learn more about the work we do in our 2020 Impact Report.
Congratulations to Maxar’s Tony Frazier, EVP, Global Field Operations, who has been named to the 2021 Wash100 for driving commercial space innovation to support national security goals.
We are happy to report that the SPace Infrastructure Dexterous Robot (SPIDER) that we are developing for NASA completed its Critical Design Review. SPIDER is a robotic assembly and manufacturing demonstration included on NASA’s upcoming OSAM-1 mission.
