SmallSat GEO is intended for the communications market and can
operate in geosynchronous orbit and provide higher power and
performance than may have been needed in low earth orbit (LEO). The
geosynchronous market is moving more towards small satellites with
more and more GEO spacecraft ordered in the small size class.
Terran Orbital is leveraging its investment in a 94,000 sq ft
advanced manufacturing facility with automation in build and test,
as well as three previous GEO missions, to expand into this
market.
“Our customers require agility, affordability, and the ability
to adapt their geosynchronous communication architecture,” said
Marc Bell, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer at
Terran Orbital. “We can bring our LEO small satellite heritage to
GEO and provide the agile customization that our customers have
come to expect and value.”
Key strengths of Terran Orbital's SmallSat GEO capability:
- Performance & Power: Gives customers a
high-performing platform compactly packaged to support missions
with the best price/bit offering.
- Payload: Adaptable to commercial/customer-provided or
Terran Orbital-supplied payloads. Allows for independently
steerable multi-beam arrays. Supports multiple reflectors.
- Cost: Significantly lower cost, with a faster delivery
timeline than traditional GEO.
By offering this new capability, Terran Orbital further
solidifies its position as a leader in cost-effective responsive
space solutions. The company remains committed to developing
innovative and cost-effective technologies that empower the
national security community and revolutionize the future of space
exploration. Click here to learn more about our spacecraft
