Operates high-resolution Earth observation satellites and develops AI-powered spatial intelligence software for defense, intelligence, and commercial mapping applications

About

Vantor, formerly Maxar Intelligence, operates one of the most capable commercial Earth observation satellite constellations in orbit, including the WorldView fleet and next-generation WorldView Legion satellites. The company develops AI-powered spatial intelligence software that fuses satellite imagery with sensor data to create continuously updated 3D digital replicas of the Earth. Its product portfolio spans Tensorglobe for constellation orchestration and data fusion, WorldView for high-resolution imagery, Vivid for basemaps and 3D terrain models, and Raptor and Sentry for GPS-denied navigation and automated change detection. Vantor provides approximately 90 percent of the foundational geospatial intelligence used by the U.S. government and serves customers in over 60 countries. The company became an independent entity in October 2025 when Maxar Technologies split under Advent International ownership.
