Millennium Space Systems, A Boeing Company

Millennium Space Systems is developing two spacecraft for the Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellite, or TRACERS, mission. TRACERS is a NASA mission led by the University of Iowa. The two identical spacecraft orbiting Earth in tandem (one following the other), will help answer long-standing questions key to understanding space weather, particularly how the Sun transfers energy, mass and momentum to near-Earth space. Launch will take place in mid-2025. Follow along with us to see TRACERS progress. https://lnkd.in/ggtWia_e

Today, we recognize and celebrate our country's veterans. Their bravery and sacrifice inspire us every day. ? Our company values the leadership, teamwork and problem-solving skills that veterans bring to the table. If you're a veteran looking for a new opportunity, consider applying to join our team to make a difference in national security space.

We go from design to delivery in just a few years and in many instances, months. Case in point: VICTUS NOX was completed in just eight months. ? And we’re moving fast with the Space Development Agency FOO Fighter constellation, completing Preliminary Design Review in just four months. We are now moving full steam ahead toward Critical Design Review in early 2025. ? FOO Fighter accelerates the U.S. government’s ability to provide fire-control in support of global detection, warning and precision tracking of advanced threats, including hypersonic missile systems.? ?

Exciting news alert! We’re now on contract with U.S. #SpaceForce Space Systems Command for an additional six Missile Track Custody satellites, bringing the total to 12 satellites. MTC is critical to a multi-orbit approach to the nation’s ability to effectively track advanced missile threats, like hypersonic glide vehicles. We’re full steam ahead with production, working toward delivery! Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gUT3Tizt

"We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry."? - Maria Mitchell, American astronomer and scientist. ? ? Our team hosted Millennium’s first art gallery this month, where several of our talented artists displayed a variety of paintings, photos, sculptures and ceramics. Our team-led initiatives encourage creativity, showcase diverse talent and foster a collaborative culture that celebrates imagination alongside technical and functional excellence.?

Our Hispanic and Latin American employee resource group, FUERZA, took the stage last week to celebrate National Hispanic & Latino Heritage Month with a special presentation and themed potluck. We shared stories and learned about the rich heritage of several of our teammates, gaining insight into how their cultural backgrounds influence their personal and professional journeys. From vibrant family customs to career-shaping milestones, these shared experiences foster a deeper sense of community across the team.?

We recently completed FOO Fighter preliminary design review with Space Development Agency, just four months after authorization to proceed. We’re fully aligned with the needs and schedule of this mission, enabled by a mature common bus architecture. FOO Fighter really showcases our spacecraft platform and ability to generate data of the required quality with a rapid-delivery small sat constellation. ? Thanks to our FOO Fighter team, we’re fully aligned and focused on the needs of the mission. ? Read the full release at?https://lnkd.in/g-KuNGEr

We briefed the VICTUS NOX mission at #AMOS this week, highlighting lessons learned and what made this historic mission possible. Special thanks to Lt Col Jason Altenhofen and Greg Less for sharing the amazing work of the Millennium Space Systems, A Boeing Company, Firefly Aerospace and Space Systems Command Space Safari team! And, thank you to the Maui Economic Development Board, Inc. for having us!

We were honored with Air & Space Forces Association's John R. Alison Award at the?2024 Air, Space & Cyber Conference?in recognition for the most outstanding contribution by industrial leadership to national defense for our work on the Victus Nox mission. ? The award was jointly presented by AFA Chair Brig. Gen. Bernie Skoch, USAF (Ret), AFA President & CEO Lt. Gen. Burt Field, USAF (Ret.), Lt. Gen. Shawn Bratton and Gen. Kevin Chilton, USAF (Ret.). Our CEO David Machuga accepted the award for Millennium, along with Israel Figueroa accepting for Firefly Aerospace, and Lt Col. Mackenzie Birchenough for Space Systems Command. ? Victus Nox achieved groundbreaking success by redefining military satellite launch and maneuver operations. The mission set a new benchmark for tactical responsiveness in space to quickly counter adversary threats.
