In addition, Terran Orbital is developing one of the world’s largest, most advanced NextGen Earth Observation constellations to provide persistent, real-time earth imagery. Terran Orbital provides end-to-end satellite solutions by combining satellite design, production, launch planning, mission operations, and in-orbit support to meet the needs of the most demanding military, civil, and commercial customers. EDT (18:35 GMT) from Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Launch: Fifty-nine small satellites and hosted experiments launched on at 2:35 p.m. Terran Orbital is a leading manufacturer of small satellites primarily serving the United States aerospace and defense industry. Transporter-5 dedicated rideshare mission of SpaceX. “Our expanded partnership with Terran Orbital is critical in delivering these advanced capabilities to customers across the globe.” “The CICERO-2 satellites will provide new accurate, sustainable Earth monitoring on a significantly faster cadence so that governments, companies, and individuals can prepare for the impact of climate change,” said GeoOptics Chief Executive Officer Alex Saltman. Terran Orbital looks forward to working with GeoOptics to continue providing this data.” “There is an increasingly urgent need for actionable information about the state of our planet and the impacts of human activity on our climate. “Terran Orbital is delighted to provide the satellites enabling GeoOptics to observe the Earth’s atmosphere, surface, and subsurface,” said Terran Orbital Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Marc Bell.
GeoOptics’s payload is a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Occultation (RO) system, which is a miniaturized version of the NASA/JPL developed “TriG” payload, named Cion. The spacecrafts are 6U XXL and based on the Phoenix Avionics, entirely designed and developed in Italy. These new satellites have been fully developed by Terran Orbital’s international arm, Tyvak International. GeoOptics’s first generation satellites were designed and developed by Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems, a Terran Orbital Corporation. The spacecraft are the first phase of GeoOptics’s CICERO-2 constellation, which form a unified Earth observatory allowing governments, industry, and individual stakeholders to monitor and prepare for the many impacts of climate change. Terran shipped the vehicles to Cape Canaveral for launch on SpaceX’s Transporter-5 mission. BOCA RATON, Fla., – Terran Orbital Corporation (NYSE: LLAP), a global leader in satellite solutions, primarily serving the United States aerospace and defense industry, today announced it shipped two next-generation satellites from GeoOptics, a global leader in remote Earth observation.
