SPRINGFIELD, Va. (NGA PR) – The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s primary unclassified delivery system now features small satellite commercial imagery, enabling federal government and international partners increased access to geospatial data to meet mission demands. 

The G-EGD system, first introduced in 2011, consisted of only of MAXAR/Digital Globe imagery, but the addition of Planet Federal and BlackSky Global data represents the first time that small satellite imagery has been integrated into the delivery system.

SAN FRANCISCO and WESTMINSTER, Colo. (MDA PR) — MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (“MDA”) (TSX: MDA) and DigitalGlobe, Inc. (“DigitalGlobe”) (NYSE: DGI) today provided several updates related to the status of the pending acquisition of DigitalGlobe by a wholly owned subsidiary of MDA.

MDA and DigitalGlobe have withdrawn and re-filed their joint voluntary notice to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) to provide additional time for CFIUS to complete its consideration of the proposed merger. Upon acceptance of the re-filing, CFIUS will initiate a new 30-day review period.
