Short answer

How can I use my AI to get Maxar satellite imagery?

You tell your AI what location and time range you need, and it finds matching products in the Maxar catalog. Once you pick a product, the AI handles the order and sends the files to your cloud storage. You'll get specific imagery delivered without manual searching or downloading.
