Terran Orbital (NYSE:LLAP) has announced two additional configurations to the lineup of satellite buses that it said will establish new benchmarks for satellite technology for the coming decade.
The Boca Raton, Florida-based company said the Enterprise-class bus is the “point of departure” for flat packing requirements carrying up to 24 satellites per launch.
The bus comes in three standard, configurable constellations, each standard with Optical Inter-Satellite Link (OISL) functionality and a large, flat deck optimized for communication and RF payloads.
Additionally, it said a new power storage system has been designed to reduce weight and increase the power available to the payload.
Configuration A is the standard model; configuration B provides additional upgraded power and payload mass representing the company’s most-capable LEO platform to date; and configuration C swaps payload mass for additional redundancy and provides power upgrades ready for MEO and GEO applications, the company added.
“We are establishing benchmarks for satellite technology for the coming decade,” Terran Orbital (NYSE:LLAP) co-founder, chairman and CEO Marc Bell commented in a statement.
“Terran Orbital (NYSE:LLAP) employs top-of-the-line automation and modern manufacturing processes to support the delivery of hundreds of satellites annually. From order to launch, in quantities from one to a constellation of one hundred, Terran Orbital is proud to accelerate the delivery of mission solutions.”
