Commercial Space Imaging Firm Vantor Aids U.S. Space Force in Tracking Orbital Objects
Vantor, formerly Maxar Intelligence, is now delivering high-resolution space-to-space imagery to the U.S. Space Force. This capability helps monitor orbital objects in areas unreachable by ground sensors, improving space domain awareness and collision avoidance.
New Surveillance Capability for Space Force
Commercial Earth intelligence company Vantor has begun providing high-resolution space-to-space imagery to the U.S. Space Force, according to an October 22 announcement. Sources indicate this partnership addresses significant gaps in military surveillance of low Earth orbit by tracking satellites and other orbital objects that pass through “blind spots” inaccessible to ground-based sensor networks.
