Maxar confirmed the temporary suspension of Ukraine's access to satellite imagery through the GEGD program, a decision made by the US government, which controls the provision of data through this program, the company reported, writes UNN.
Maxar has contracts with the US government and dozens of allied and partner countries around the world for the provision of satellite imagery and other geospatial data. Each client independently decides how they use and share this data. One of these contracts is GEGD (Global Enhanced GEOINT Delivery program), a US government program that provides access to commercial satellite imagery that has been designated and collected by the US government. The US government has temporarily suspended Ukrainian accounts in GEGD. We take our contractual obligations very seriously. There are no changes in how we support our other clients or in their programs or contracts.
