The data streams that underpin humanitarian response are about to collapse
Famine warning, needs assessments, health data: Humanitarian action will be groping in the dark if vital data sources are allowed to crumble.

Unclear if Maxar will be able to sell the imagery to Ukraine outside of the GEGD contract, but it would get complicated. Where should Ukraine get data now?
Airbus - VHR data from 🇫🇷
Wyvern Space - 🇨🇦 Hyper spectral
MDA - 🇨🇦 SAR
SkyWatch - 🇨🇦 Imagery platform
ICEYE - 🇫🇮 SAR
Who did I miss?

ESA satellites can be used, but they are 10meter resolution as compared to Maxars 30cm Resolution... so very different use cases. If you want operational data you are generally going to need high resolution, higher revisit, and lower latency.

We’re making it happen… but the need and timing seems to be accelerating, EO data is an incredible value, and the barriers to entry have been lowering for a while now. The time is now!

2/ The commercial market cannot be expected to act independently of its primary defense and intelligence customers. As a result, humanitarian organizations and independent actors cannot rely on the current systems, even when we know this data has the power to save lives.

Talking about a vibrant Denver, while also returning that one block on Larimer back to car traffic. god forbid we have a part of town where we can actually walk around.
