Intermap Technologies, a 3D geospatial products and intelligence solution, has announced a contract to supply its latest high-precision NEXTMap elevation data to a global spacecraft/launch/communications operator for simulation, regulatory compliance, and global situational awareness.

Intermap’s sensed elevation data is a non-synthetic 3D global product and is used to power its clients’ critical as-a-service infrastructure for various terrain, sub-surface, and space-based applications.

The rapid increase in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, especially those providing broadband internet connectivity, requires corresponding ground station infrastructure to control the satellites and relay the data being sent through them.
