About an hour and 50 minutes after liftoff SpaceX confirmed that both Maxar-2 satellites were successfully deployed.
These are the third and fourth WorldView Legion satellites operated by Maxar Intelligence, an Earth observation company based in Westminster, Colorado. They are the first Maxar satellites launched into mid-inclination orbit, allowing them to observe areas between 45-degrees north and 45-degrees south latitude, providing coverage of most populated regions. This inclination enables frequent revisits over a wide range of latitudes. The first two WorldView Legion satellites are in a near-polar orbit.
WorldView Legion are electro-optical imaging satellites — with resolution of 30 centimeters — used to collect imagery and map the planet. Maxar Intelligence is the U.S. government’s primary provider of commercial electro-optical imagery. The company in 2022 won a $3.2 billion contract from the National Reconnaissance Office to supply imagery and mapping services over a decade.
