Maxar receives about $300,000,000 a year under the EnhancedView contract and Maxar’s sales to the NRO will likely continue at that level for the next several years.
The NRO currently spends about $300,000,000 a year on imagery provided by Maxar under a sole-source contract known as EnhancedView.
Maxar repurchased $150,000,000 of senior secured notes that were not due until 2023 and carried a 9.75% interest rate, and issued $150,000,000 of new senior secured notes on 2020-06-25 with a 7.54% interest rate due in 2027.
Vricon uses satellite imagery from Maxar and intellectual property from Saab to produce 3D mapping products.
Maxar is funding the Vricon acquisition by refinancing $150,000,000 in debt.
On 2020-06-25, Maxar Technologies will pay $140,000,000 to take full ownership of Vricon.
All of Neptec, purchased by Maxar in 2018, is now part of MDA in its vision, systems and sensors group within the robotics and space operations business.
MDA completed its merger with DigitalGlobe in 2017 to become a U.S. company aimed at accessing the U.S. government market.
Maxar Technologies sold MDA in April 2020 for $729,000,000 to a consortium of investors led by Northern Private Capital of Toronto.
Maxar retained SSL, which MDA had purchased five years before acquiring DigitalGlobe.
Maxar reduced its debt position through the sale of MDA to address $3,100,000,000 in debt.
MDA does not expect to compete with Maxar on building GEO communications satellites at this time.
Intelsat and SES have ordered 10 replacement C-band satellites ahead of the FCC’s auction from Boeing, Maxar, and Northrop Grumman.
The National Reconnaissance Office awarded study contracts in 2019 to BlackSky Global, HyspecIQ, Maxar Technologies, and Planet to compare each company’s current and planned capabilities with imagery requirements established by NGA.
Intelsat ordered six replacement C-band satellites—four from Maxar Technologies and two from Northrop Grumman—and is negotiating with manufacturers for a seventh satellite.
Maxar’s satellites ordered by Intelsat are named Galaxy-31, Galaxy-32, Galaxy-35, and Galaxy-36.
Four of the satellites ordered by Intelsat will be built by Maxar Technologies and two will be built by Northrop Grumman.
Maxar announced in May that it received a multiple-satellite commercial GEO order from an unnamed customer.
Maxar would own and operate the satellite constellation and leverage much of the same ground infrastructure used for its WorldView Legion remote sensing constellation to supply NOAA with weather data.
For the low Earth orbit architecture study, Maxar is exploring integrating NOAA weather sensors on Legion-class satellite buses under a $350,000 NOAA contract awarded 2020-05-25.
