Maxar Space

Products: Space arm. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 36.4/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 4 of 4 among Space robotics companies with incidents (6 tracked).

Analyst brief

Maxar Space's record consists of a single entry: NASA's March 2024 cancellation of the $2 billion OSAM-1 robotic satellite-servicing mission, attributed to Maxar performance and classified as a mission-loss event of severity 4. This is a one-event record with no additional incidents to establish frequency or trend. Maxar Space's index of 36.4 ranks 4 of 4 companies in Space robotics with incident history. The record originates from a government agency action, NASA's mission cancellation, rather than from press-driven incident reporting alone.
