BAE Systems announced that it has entered into an agreement to build high-resolution imaging satellite buses for Vantor, a leading provider of unified spatial intelligence from space to ground. BAE Systems will build the spacecraft for the next-generation Vantor Vantage 20 cm-class imaging satellites from the Evolve\u2122 spacecraft line, for use with national defense and intelligence programs. BAE Systems will also lead spacecraft integration and testing for the program.<\/p>\n
“We are entering a new era of imaging satellite production that is based on a long and successful history of delivering space vehicles for <\/em>Vantor <\/em>programs,” said <\/strong><\/em>Brad Shogrin<\/strong><\/em>, vice president and general manager of National Space for BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems.<\/strong> “The Vantage imaging satellites will provide essential data for critical intelligence programs, and we look forward to growing our partnership as we advance to the production phase of these next-generation <\/em>space vehicles<\/em>. Vantor features world-class capabilities, and we are excited to once again partner with them on these advanced systems.”<\/em><\/p>\n Vantage satellites are designed to collect the most accurate, highest-resolution commercial imagery on orbit. They will integrate advanced technologies designed to increase imagery collection, reduce latency and deliver mission-critical intelligence from space. BAE Systems and Vantor share a successful history of collaboration spanning several multi-satellite intelligence programs, including two Quickbird and three WorldView satellites. <\/p>\n “As demand accelerates for more responsive space-based intelligence, we’re investing in expanding our constellation capabilities to strengthen the spatial foundation that represents our living digital twin of Earth,” said <\/strong><\/em>Matt Jenkins<\/strong><\/em>, chief space systems officer at Vantor.<\/strong> “Vantage represents the next generation of exquisite imaging from space, and <\/em>BAE Systems<\/em>‘ proven track record of manufacturing excellence, mission execution, and deep experience supporting world-class imaging programs makes them the right partner to help us build what will be the most capable commercial imaging satellites on orbit.”<\/em><\/p>\n The companies will continue to research future collaboration on satellite constellation design and production to advance national defense and intelligence capabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BAE Systems announced that it has entered into an agreement to build high-resolution imaging satellite buses for Vantor, a leading provider of unified spatial intelligence from space to ground.
