What they do

Inside Vantor (formerly Maxar Intelligence)

WorldView Legion adds six satellites at 30cm class with 8-band multispectral and precise geolocation under 5m CE90 without ground control, tripling the company’s capacity to collect 30cm-class imagery.

Through the Maxar Geospatial Platform (MGP Pro) customers reach over 6 million square kilometres of daily collection plus an archive exceeding 125 petabytes, served through eAPI and standard streaming endpoints.

The Legion satellites launched in three pairs across 2024 and into early 2025, with the fifth and sixth reaching orbit in February 2025.
