NASA's Earth Science Division (ESD) established the Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) program to explore the potential of commercial satellite data in advancing the agency's Earth science research and application objectives. The program aims to identify, assess, and acquire data from commercial providers, which may offer a cost-effective means of supplementing Earth observations collected by NASA, other U.S. Government agencies, and international collaborators.

For decades, Maxar has been the U.S. Government's top partner for very-high resolution geospatial data. During this NASA CSDA webinar, speakers will introduce Maxar and the company’s constellation of Earth observation platforms. Maxar representatives will highlight the company's current and future capabilities, from 2D and 3D data to advanced change monitoring and object detection products. They also will discuss how these data products complement NASA Earth science data holdings for research and applications. Additional topics will focus on the services available to data users and how to get assistance using Maxar datasets, services, and tools.
