Neuraspace has raised €15.6M to scale its SDA service, which is related to the increasing number of satellites in orbit and the importance of space for defense ministries. This investment will help Neuraspace expand its capabilities in the space domain. The company's service is crucial for defense ministries around the world as space becomes a more significant domain.
General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS) has been awarded a $400M sole-source contract by the Space Development Agency (SDA) for Tranche 3 ground work, including software development, testing, and integration. The contract builds upon GDMS' existing software baseline and previous work with Iridium. The award is for the ground segment of the SDA's program.
The US Space Development Agency awarded a contract to General Dynamics Mission Systems to develop the ground segment for Tranche Three of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture, a network of missile-tracking satellites. The contract has a ceiling of $400 million. This project aims to enhance America's missile-tracking capabilities.
The Space Development Agency (SDA) is resuming its satellite launch campaign after addressing technical issues with its Tranche 1 Transport Layer birds. The next set of 21 satellites is set to launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9. SDA Director Gurpartap Sandhoo confirmed that software and hardware issues were resolved before the launch.
The Space Development Agency is resuming its Tranche 1 launch campaign after a 9-month pause to address hardware and software issues that arose on orbit. The issues emerged after the launch of its first operational satellites last fall. The agency is now on track to continue its launch campaign this week.
The US Space Force's Space Development Agency has awarded a contract to L3Harris Technologies to develop space-based sensors for tracking hypersonic missiles. This technology will enable the US to monitor threats from orbit. The system aims to provide early warning and detection of hypersonic missiles.
The Space Development Agency has awarded L3Harris and Sierra Space $1.75 billion to build 36 satellites for the Golden Dome missile defense shield. The satellites will provide missile warning, tracking, and targeting capabilities. The contract is part of an accelerated schedule to meet the Pentagon's 2028 plans for demonstrating the Golden Dome system.
The SDA TAP Lab has evolved into the BMC3I TAP Lab and partnered with Catalyst Campus to launch a multi-phased program aimed at accelerating mission-focused technology development. This program seeks to strengthen collaboration between commercial innovators and the government. The goal is to develop technologies that can support national security missions.
The Space Development Agency has canceled plans to launch 11 satellites for communications experiments in low-Earth orbit. The decision was made to focus on operational work.
