aid: maxar-technologies name: Maxar Technologies description: >- Maxar Technologies was a publicly traded Earth-imaging and space-systems company formed from the 2017 merger of MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates (MDA) with DigitalGlobe (founded 1992 in Oakland, California). In December 2022 private-equity firm Advent International agreed to take Maxar private in a USD 6.4 billion cash deal that closed in May 2023, after which Advent split the company into two operating units: Maxar Intelligence (imagery and geospatial software in Westminster, Colorado) and Maxar Space Systems (satellite manufacturing in Palo Alto, California). On 1 October 2025 both units rebranded — Maxar Intelligence became Vantor and Maxar Space Systems became Lanteris Space Systems. On 13 January 2026 Intuitive Machines completed the acquisition of Lanteris from Advent for approximately USD 800 million, leaving Vantor as the sole remaining Advent-owned successor of the Maxar brand. The public developer surface for the original Maxar APIs — imagery search, streaming (WMS/WMTS/WFS), tasking, ordering, monitoring, authentication and account services — is now delivered through the Vantor Hub (hub.vantor.com / pro.maxar.com) and the Maxar Geospatial Platform (MGP) SDKs (Python, Java, R). The Maxar Open Data Program continues to publish a public STAC catalog of pre-/post-event high-resolution imagery on AWS Open Data. type: Index image: https://kinlane-productions.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - Satellite Imagery - Earth Observation - Geospatial - Remote Sensing - Spatial Intelligence - Defense - Intelligence - WorldView - STAC - OGC - WMS - WMTS - WFS - Tasking - Basemaps - Vantor - Lanteris - Advent International - Private Equity url: >- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/maxar-technologies/refs/heads/main/apis.yml created: '2026-05-22' modified: '2026-05-23' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: maxar-technologies:authentication name: Vantor Hub Authentication API description: >- OAuth-style token service that issues bearer access tokens for use with every other Vantor Hub API (Discovery, Account Services, Streaming).
