  Maxar (operating in 2026 as Vantor / Maxar Intelligence) is a high-resolution
  Earth observation and 3D geospatial provider operating the WorldView Legion,
  WorldView-3, WorldView-2, and GeoEye-1 constellations. The Maxar Geospatial
  Platform (MGP), branded as Vantor Hub, is API-first: developers authenticate
  through the Authentication / Token Service, search the 125+PB Vivid,
  archive, and change-monitoring catalog through the Discovery API (STAC /
  GeoJSON), place orders through the Ordering API, stream imagery and
  basemaps through OGC-compliant WFS / WMS / WMTS services, retrieve 3D
  surface models, register Areas of Interest with the Monitoring API, and
  task new collections through the Tasking API (Fastview / Flexview). Raster
  and Vector Analytics expose NDVI, NDWI, change-monitoring vectors, and
  custom analysis graphs. An official Python SDK (maxar-platform) wraps the
  full surface.
