NRO Exercises 2nd $300M Option on Maxar Satellite Imagery Contract; Dan Jablonsky Quoted

Maxar Technologies (NYSE: MAXR) will continue to provide satellite imagery to the National Reconnaissance Office after the agency exercised the second $300 million option under a service level agreement with the company.

This option is part of the EnhancedView Follow-On contract with three potential extension years that could extend work through August 2023, Maxar said Wednesday.

NRO extended the EVFO agreement in November 2018 to ensure continued access to commercial imagery for the agency mission.

The company will provide its service to the agency through Aug. 31, 2022, under the exercised option and noted that NRO’s Electro-Optical Commercial Layer program will handle the effort’s funds and requirements.

Dan Jablonsky, CEO of Maxar, said the company stands ready to support national security missions in the defense and intelligence sectors through its satellite imagery offering.
