About Janes
In a world crowded with increasingly unreliable information, our customers require timely, verified, validated, unbiased and relevant defence, threat, and equipment intelligence. The interconnectivity of Janes assured open-source intelligence and analysis enables us to provide you with the unique insights required to make mission critical decisions.
Our Purpose
To improve global security through trusted intelligence.
Our Vision
The trusted global agency for open-source defence intelligence.
Our Mission
The Janes stamp of trust means supplying our customers with timely, validated, unbiased and relevant intelligence in a world crowded with increasingly unreliable information.
With an unmatched legacy of more than 120 years, Janes has adapted, expanded, and developed its unique tradecraft whilst transitioning from a traditional military publisher to the leading global agency for open-source intelligence.
Today Janes partners with global government agencies and leading military manufacturers across the world and is at the forefront of analysis in the open-source intelligence domain.
While open-source data is readily available to analysts and decision makers, it can be unmanageable in structure and volume, is not assured, and can be manipulated either intentionally or unintentionally. Our human-centric tradecraft, developed over 120 years, delivers the highest levels of assurance.
The Power of Interconnected Intelligence
Janes Intara brings together all of the assured intelligence, across military capabilities and order of battle, events, equipment, markets, forecasts and manufacturers. All datasets have been interconnected allowing you to work across traditional domains, as well as datasets, regions, organisations or countries.
The ability to interconnect, contextualise and integrate Janes assured foundational intelligence with third-party and your own data in a common, consistent framework enables the exploitation of all intelligence sources in a shareable, actionable manner resulting in a more complete and assured assessment.

History
Jane's Information Group was founded in 1898 by Fred T. Jane, who had begun sketching ships as an enthusiast naval artist while living in Portsmouth. This gradually developed into an encyclopedic knowledge, culminating in the publishing of All the World's Fighting Ships (1898).[1] The company then gradually branched out into other areas of military expertise. The books and trade magazines published by the company are often considered the de facto public source of information on warfare and transportation systems.
Based in Greater London for most of its existence, the group was owned by the Thomson Corporation, The Woodbridge Company,[when?][citation needed] then IHS Markit,[2] before being acquired by Montagu Private Equity in 2019.[3]
In March 2022, Janes acquired Washington D.C.-based RWR Advisory Group[4]

History
Pixxel's first satellite, Anand, was earlier scheduled to be launched in late 2020 on a Soyuz rocket.[7] It later entered in an agreement with India's state owned NSIL to use a PSLV rocket for launching it in early 2021.[8] Its launch on board the PSLV-C51 was delayed in February 2021 due to technical issues.[9] It is now expected to launch on-board the PSLV-C54/EOS-06 mission.[10] The PSLV-C54 was successfully launched on 26 November 2022 at 11:56 IST / 06:12 UTC.
Pixxel launched the first of its three demonstration satellite through a hosted camera payload partnership with the Lithuanian firm, NanoAvionics on 30 June 2021 in their D2/Altacom-1 satellite on a SpaceX Falcon-9 rideshare mission, Transporter-2.[11]
Pixxel launched its second satellite, Shakuntala/TD-2 on a SpaceX Falcon-9 rideshare mission, Transporter-4 on April 1, 2022.[10][12]
Anand and Shakuntala are a part of the three demonstration satellites that Pixxel planned to launch. It plans to launch the first 6 satellites of its Firefly constellation in 2023 and 12 more by the end of 2024.[10]
Pixxel announced that it will provide the highest resolution commercially available hyperspectral images. It raised $2.3 million in March 2021 from Techstars, Omnivore VC and others. This is in addition to the $5 million it raised in August 2020 from Lightspeed Ventures and others.[13] Canadian firm Radical Ventures led a $25 million funding round in March 2022. The company has raised total funding of $33 million.[11]
The company claims that its constellation is designed to provide global coverage at a revisit of every 24 hours.[14]

History
Main article: History of Boise State University
The school became Idaho's third state university 49 years ago in 1974, after the University of Idaho (1889) and Idaho State University (1963). Boise State awards associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, and is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. As of 2010, it has over 75,000 living alumni.
Campus
The 285-acre (1.15 km2) campus is located near downtown Boise, on the south bank of the Boise River, opposite Julia Davis Park. With more than 170 buildings, the campus is at an elevation of 2,700 feet (825 m) above sea level, bounded by Capitol Boulevard on the west and Broadway Avenue to the east. Boise State has spent over $300 million since 2003 on academic, residential, and athletics facilities across campus.[8] Through the 1930s, the site was the city's airport.
Boise State broke ground in May 2017 on a $42 million Center for the Fine Arts, which houses sculpture, metalwork, painting, graphic design and other visual arts, as well as gallery space and a digital "World Museum" devoted to high-tech arts experiences. [9]
