The space domain is becoming more congested and contested every day. With more systems, companies and countries in space than ever before, collaboration between government agencies and private industry is an imperative. This week’s The Aerospace States Association Aerospace Policy Summit is doing just that—bringing together elected and commercial leaders to discuss some of the toughest policy challenges in space. Geoff Hempelmann from our Government Relations team will be sharing our thoughts on space debris, and what needs to happen to create a more responsible and sustainable future. Today, Maxar’s Non-Earth Imaging is helping organizations track and characterize space objects, perform satellite health assessments and plan missions with confidence.

Much of the United States is experiencing extreme heat and it’s driving electricity bills up as people use more air conditioning. The Wall Street Journal dove into this topic and talked to our Steven Silver, senior meteorologist, about the heat and its impacts: “This month will likely wind up being the warmest June in records dating back to 1950, both in terms of actual temperature and cooling-degree days, said Steve Silver, senior meteorologist at Maxar. Cooling-degree days are a population-weighted measure of temperatures above 65 degrees Fahrenheit that energy traders use to gauge demand. ‘I wouldn’t expect a big change to a much cooler pattern for the rest of summer,’ Silver said. ‘As far as whether we’ll be talking continued record heat, I think it’s a little too early to speculate on that.’"—excerpt from the June 20, 2024 article: https://ow.ly/9eYw50SoMNv Maxar’s WeatherDesk platform intelligently blends multiple leading forecasts to create an optimized forecast and actionable insights for customers, like what Steve shared with the WSJ.

Last week, we hosted students from Naval Postgraduate School’s Space Systems Academic Group at our operations center. It was great to engage with some of the brightest military minds about Maxar’s longstanding support of critical defense and intelligence missions and to showcase more nascent capabilities like Non-Earth Imaging for space domain awareness. The DoD has increasingly emphasized the need to integrate commercial innovation, and engagements like this help reimagine new practices through continued education and collaboration. #defensetech #military #nationalsecurity #geoint #intelligence #government

Two wildfires in New Mexico have scorched more than 24,000 acres and destroyed 1,400 structures. The wildfires, named the South Fork and Salt fires, continue to spread as the region faces threats of flash flooding. These satellite images show an overview of the South Fork wildfire in both natural color and color infrared. In the infrared image, black/grey shades show burned areas while red/pink shades depict healthy vegetation. Our team has been working with first responders to help conduct damage assessments in partnership with the United States Air Force Civil Air Patrol, FEMA and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. The wildfires remain 0% contained according to the State of New Mexico’s latest update. #satelliteimagery #nmfire #southforkfire #saltfire #ruidoso #disasterresponse #geospatialintelligence #gis #geospatial

The newly constructed Porte de la Chapelle Arena was completed in February 2024 in north Paris. In a little over a month, it will host badminton and rhythmic gymnastics, before becoming a hub for sports and cultural activities for the north Paris area. Step back through the years of construction in these WorldView-3 images: 1️⃣: people are walking outside the new venue in June 2024 2️⃣: the stadium started to take shape and cranes are clearly visible in November 2022 3️⃣: the foundations of the new stadium were being constructed in March 2022 4️⃣: this is what the site of Porte de la Chapelle Arena looked like before construction in June 2017 Construction projects like building new stadiums can impact how maps route pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. Maxar’s high-resolution satellite imagery can help mapmakers keep their maps updated and fresh to ensure safe and easy navigation.

Today, on Juneteenth, we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. It's a day to reflect on the struggles and triumphs of the Black community, and a reminder of the ongoing work towards racial equality. In recognition of Juneteenth, we want to thank the Black and African American Americans at Maxar (BAAM) Employee Resource Group (ERG) for their engaging virtual game show-style event yesterday. The event provided a valuable opportunity for employees to expand their knowledge of Juneteenth's significance and strengthen relationships with colleagues through small group discussions. At Maxar Intelligence, we're committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. This Juneteenth let's go beyond commemoration and use it as a springboard for continued action towards a more just and equitable future. #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #DiversityAndInclusion
