A new platform, Maxar Connect, is set to significantly broaden access to Maxar Intelligence’s advanced satellite imagery and geospatial products, all through the user-friendly interface provided by SkyFi. This collaboration aims to democratize the availability of high-resolution Earth observation data for a diverse range of users, from mission-critical teams to individual researchers.
According to the information provided, Maxar Connect offers users the ability to schedule future image collections from Maxar’s constellation, with options for 30cm or 50cm resolution imagery. This “tasking” feature allows for precise planning of image acquisition for specific areas of interest at desired times. Furthermore, the platform grants access to an extensive archive of Maxar’s high-resolution imagery, spanning over two decades. Users can refine their searches based on various criteria, including resolution and spectral bands.
Beyond imagery, the new service also enables ordering a variety of 3D geospatial products and elevation models from Maxar Intelligence. These capabilities, as mentioned by the source, empower users to conduct detailed measurements and analyses in a 3D environment, offering a more complete understanding of critical situations.
SkyFi, known for its commitment to making Earth observation data readily available, is central to this initiative. The company’s platform simplifies the process of obtaining satellite imagery and geospatial analytics, eliminating the need for complex contracts or advanced technical expertise. The source points out that SkyFi’s intuitive web and mobile applications provide seamless access to a diverse array of sensors, resolutions, and integrated analytics. This includes not only optical imagery but also Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, hyperspectral, and aerial imagery, catering to various industries such as defense, energy, infrastructure, and environmental services. SkyFi’s transparent pricing model and a pay-as-you-go approach further enhance accessibility, making high-quality Earth observation data as straightforward to acquire as online shopping, according to SkyFi.
This partnership marks a significant step in expanding the reach of sophisticated geospatial intelligence, making it more attainable for a global audience seeking critical insights into our planet.
