Maxar still confident Legion constellation will be in orbit in 2022 (Sandra Erwin, Space News)

Maxar remains confident that it will launch all six of its next-generation WorldView Legion imaging satellites in 2022, 

“We anticipate all six to be on orbit next year,” Tony Frazier, Maxar’s executive vice president of global field operations, told SpaceNews at the 2021 GEOINT Symposium.

Frazier said he could not provide specific target launch dates for the first launch of a batch of two satellites, and a second batch of four satellites, both aboard SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets. Up until a few months ago, the company had projected that these launches would happen in 2021. In August Maxar CEO Dan Jablonski revealed to investors during an earnings call that the first launch was being delayed to 2022.
