Sierra Space has launched Sierra Space Axelerator?, an innovation-at-speed incubator designed to fast-track the development of revolutionary defense technologies and mission solutions. Axelerator is set to redefine industry standards by delivering cutting-edge products with unprecedented efficiency. The first tech to emerge from Axelerator is Sierra Space Ghost, a state-of-the-art, space delivery system engineered to safely return objects from space – and through space – directly to precise locations on Earth. Ghost, a low beta reentry vehicle using revolutionary deployable decelerator technology, represents a significant leap forward in space logistics and recovery operations, promising to enhance the sustainability and safety of space. Sierra Space is also unveiling Spectre, a revolutionary satellite designed for precision rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO). The third breakthrough announced from Sierra Space’s Axelerator incubator is Sierra Black OS, an advanced AI-enabled operating system that will have the ability to operate across space, air and ground systems seamlessly.

??? The FCC recently released its draft version of a NPRM regarding a licensing framework for In-Space Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM). The item is tentatively scheduled to be voted on at the FCC’s Open Commission meeting on February 15. The NPRM proposes changes to the Commission’s rules, which include defining what constitutes an ISAM space station, creating a framework for ISAM space station operators to pursue FCC licensing under Part 25 of the Commission’s rules, and clarifying how the FCC’s space station license requirements such as orbital debris mitigation could apply to ISAM operators.

Space Systems Command (SSC) has awarded the Emergent CubeSat Technology (ECT) project to BANC3, Inc. and Parabilis Space Technologies, Inc. These two Non-traditional performers will lead the effort with support from three sub-contractors: Intel Federal LLC, Princeton Satellite Systems, Inc, and Quantic X-Microwave. ECT was awarded through the Space Enterprise Consortium (SpEC) Other Transaction Authority (OTA), sponsored by SSC. The Emergent CubeSat Technology project aims to develop a prototype that provides more capability than existing CubeSat technologies. The overall goal is to enhance small satellite capabilities as we miniaturize satellites to meet the Space Service Acquisition Executive’s vision.

Optical communications, i.e. lasers, are the network pipes for the Internet of Space A new constellation with laser comms and compatibility with the Space Development Agency's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture is now taking shape

#USA #JointAllDomainCommandAndControl #JADC2 #SpaceDevelopmentAgency #SDA #ProliferatedWarfighterSpaceArchitecture #Tranche2TransportLayer #T2TL #YorkSpaceSystems #TerranOrbitalCorporation #TyvakNanoSatelliteSystems "WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Space Development Agency (SDA) today announced the awards of two prototype agreements with a total value of approximately $424 million to build and operate 20 Tranche 2 Transport Layer (T2TL) – Gamma variant protype space vehicles, which will continue to expand the demonstration of advanced tactical satellite communication (TACSATCOM) capabilities through the Tranche 2 timeframe and beyond. SDA awarded these firm-fixed price other transaction authority (OTA) agreements to York Space Systems, Denver, and Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems, Inc., Irvine, California (a Terran Orbital Corporation), to each build and operate 10 T2TL – Gamma prototype satellites with delivery for launch scheduled to begin by fourth quarter of fiscal year 2027. “With these T2TL – Gamma awards, we are closing out the hardware procurement phase for Tranche 2 of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture to support delivery beginning in 2026 to achieve our full warfighting capability,” said Derek Tournear, SDA director. “The T2TL – Gamma space vehicles will demonstrate global communications access and operationalize persistent global encrypted connectivity to support missions like beyond line of sight targeting.” SDA received and evaluated eight proposals under an Other Transaction Authorities solicitation, SDA-PS-24-02. The York prototype agreement (FA24012490067) has a total value of approximately $170 million. The Tyvak prototype agreement (FA24012490066) has a total value of approximately $254 million. SDA is the agreement holder for both awards. This marks the first time Tyvak (a Terran Orbital Corporation) will perform as a prime vendor for SDA. The T2TL features multiple space vehicle and mission configuration variants, along with related operational demonstrations, procured through a multi-solicitation and multi-vendor acquisition approach. The PWSA Transport Layer will provide multi-band global communications access and persistent encrypted connectivity for warfighter missions. The Transport Layer will be the space backbone for the Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) infrastructure with low-latency data transport, sensor-to-shooter connectivity, and TACSATCOM direct to platform. ..."

?? Leanspace secures €10.5M for next-gen satellite constellation operations Leanspace, together with partners CYSEC and Constellation Technologies & Operations, has won the France 2030 "UMBRELLA" Project, backed by the French government. This milestone positions us as a critical infrastructure provider for managing large-scale, dynamic, and highly secure satellite constellations. Some of the project's key outcomes include: ? Achieving post-quantum security to build the most secure space systems? ? A high-fidelity simulation environment for complex satellite operations ? A paradigm to easily re-configure and guarantee the coherence of dynamic systems. Read the full press release on SpaceNews for more details: https://lnkd.in/dh5PRuW3
