The company announced March 26 that it acquired its imagery from <strong>Maxar<\/strong>\u2018s Worldview-3 satellite and the<strong> German Aerospace Center<\/strong>\u2018s (<strong>DLR<\/strong>) TerraSAR-X satellite.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Satellite imagery and sensing companies have been trying to expand their operational footprint in several enterprise verticals \u2014 especially in the lucrative mining sector.
