Lockheed Martin
Lockheed Martin has awarded Terran Orbital Corporation (NYSE:
LLAP) a contract to build 36 satellite buses for Space Development
Agency’s (SDA) Tranche 2 Transport Layer (T2TL) Beta constellation.
Terran Orbital will deliver the buses to Lockheed Martin, which
will conduct payload integration and jointly operate the satellites
with SDA.

SDA’s T2TL Beta constellation will advance the Proliferated
Warfighter Space Architecture’s (PWSA) initial warfighting
capability with targeted technology enhancements, mission-focused
payload configurations, and increased integration. The PWSA
provides a resilient, low-latency communication system to connect
warfighter platforms worldwide and help the military target threats
and detect and track missiles.
“We congratulate Lockheed Martin on another big contract win in
support of SDA’s Transport Layer mission,” said Marc Bell, Terran
Orbital Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud that
Lockheed Martin has selected Terran Orbital to deliver high-quality
satellite buses for a vital mission to connect and protect U.S.
military personnel worldwide.”
Terran Orbital is currently building 42 buses for Lockheed
Martin to help the company fulfill its $700 million contract for
the SDA’s Tranche 1 Transport Layer (T1TL), currently scheduled for
a late 2024 launch.
Last spring, Terran Orbital completed a successful Critical
Design Review and Manufacturing Readiness Review for the T1TL
satellite buses, which are manufactured in the company’s small
satellite production facilities in Irvine, California. The MRR
confirmed Terran Orbital’s readiness to manufacture and deliver all
42 T1TL satellite buses.
Now, with the completion of Terran Orbital’s T1TL MRR and
Lockheed Martin’s CDR, Terran Orbital will deliver the 42 satellite
buses to Lockheed Martin for payload integration and testing in the
company’s new 20,000-square-foot small satellite assembly facility
near Denver. The same facilities will eventually be used for
payload integration and testing of the 36 T2TL Beta satellite
buses.
Last year, Terran Orbital delivered 10 satellite buses to
Lockheed Martin in support of their Tranche 0 Transport Layer
contract with SDA. The T2TL Beta satellites are scheduled to be
deployed into low Earth orbit during a series of launches starting
in 2026.
