News Summary:

On September 19, 2025, Maxar Intelligence announced a partnership with Taiwan's Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) to deploy the Maxar Raptor software suite across Taiwan's unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) industry. This collaboration aims to enhance the resilience and reliability of autonomous systems in GPS- and GNSS-denied environments. A similar partnership was announced on September 22, 2025, focusing on integrating Raptor vision-based navigation software into Taiwan's UAV sector to improve GPS-jamming resilience. A separate incident, unrelated to these partnerships, involved a Maxar WorldView Legion satellite capturing a SpaceX Starlink satellite streaking across an image of China's Dingxin Airbase last month. The satellite imagery showed vivid rainbow artefacts over the Gobi Desert.

When the prime spins off: why brand strategy is essential to capturing shareholder value

I recently attended the Baird 2025 Defense & Government Conference, and one theme cut through nearly every session: the defense acquisition landscape is undergoing a fundamental transformation. The tone was set by the Department of War’s recent memo, which rebrands the Defense Acquisition System as the Warfighting Acquisition System — a shift that prioritizes outcomes, speed, and mission relevance over process, incumbency, or size.

Intuitive Machines Is (Almost) a Billion-Dollar Space Business

Intuitive Machines announced a transformative -- and cheap! -- acquisition. And then its stock got even cheaper. Well that was fast! Barely one month ago I described the latest developments at Maxar Technologies, the space technology company taken private by private equity firm Advent back in 2022 -- how Advent had split Maxar into two halves, renamed each of them, and appeared to be preparing them both for initial public offerings (IPOs).

Europe’s lead in hyperspectral Earth observation depends on public–private partnerships

For half a century, satellites have chased the same prize: ever sharper pictures of Earth. Each advance brought more pixels and greater clarity, but only in terms of how things looked. Now, a different kind of technology is emerging, one that reveals the biochemical composition of man-made and natural objects: hyperspectral imaging.

Beyond the Echo - How satellites steer the radar beam

Making sense of Multi-Spot imaging geometry with electronic-mechanical, aka hybrid, steering. We’ve been nerding out about electronic steering and phased array antennas a lot recently. We’ve covered how physical maneuvers with attitude control system and beam steering allows one satellite to capture hundreds of images in the time it goes around the Earth.
