🤜🤛 True Anomaly is thrilled to partner with Firefly Aerospace on the United States Space Force’s #VICTUSHAZE mission! Even Rogers, our CEO, had this to say: "The procurement of additional rapid, responsive launch capacity from Firefly beyond VICTUS HAZE, paired with True Anomaly's rapid manufacturing capability, will enable standing capacity for the US National Security Space enterprise to rapidly respond to mission requirements in Low Earth Orbit and Medium Earth Orbit." This multi-launch agreement provides for three launches, including VICTUS HAZE, as well as two additional launches between 2025 and 2027.

As space becomes increasingly congested and contested, the ability to strategically maneuver assets is critical to strengthening deterrence efforts. Enhancing sustained space maneuverability will enable more effective support for the Joint Force and our #AlliesAndPartners in achieving mission objectives, while also generating adaptable combat power across all domains.

US Space Force On Track to Field First Batch of Ground-Based Satellite Communications Jammer Washington: The US Space Force is on track to field its first batch of a new ground-based satellite communications jammer in the coming months — designed to disrupt signals from enemy spacecraft.

I cannot stress how critical it is that the United States and Allies have the ability to rapidly deliver interoperable, end to end security solutions for the space domain. True Anomaly’s multi-launch agreement with Firefly Aerospace does just that. Future access to multiple orbits, on a moment’s notice, provides optionality for unprecedented speed and flexibility when responding to threats on orbit. #SpaceSecurity #NationalSecurity

SpaceX is targeting Thursday, April 11, for Falcon 9’s launch of the USSF-62 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The approximate 10-minute launch window opens at 7:25 a.m. PDT, 14:25 UTC, and 16:25 CEST. If needed, a backup opportunity with the same launch window is available on Friday, April 12. This will be the third launch of the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base. About the USSF-62 mission: WSF-M (Weather System Follow-on-Microwave) is the next-generation operational environmental satellite system for the Department of Defense (DoD) of the United States. It will replace the microwave wavelength weather forecasting capabilities of the DMSP Satellites. Ball Aerospace was selected in late November 2017 as the prime contractor for 2 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) weather satellites with a passive microwave imaging radiometer instrument. It hosted a government-renewable charged particle (ECP) sensor space weather payload developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory. The radiometer leverages the Ball-built Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) instrument. The mission will improve weather forecasting over maritime regions by taking global measurements of the atmosphere and ocean surface. After stage separation, the booster of the Falcon 9 rocket will make a flip-maneuver and start a boost-back burn, which will have a duration of about 20 seconds. The booster will then make a landing attempt at LZ-4 (Landing Zone 4) at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. So, people around the area should expect a sonic boom short before the landing. Flight direction is to the south of Vandenberg, along the coast of California, and weather permitting, it should be very good visible for a long time.

🏋️ New information just dropped on K2 Space Corporation's preparation for its first full satellite mission, Gravitas, set to launch in February 2026 on SpaceX’s Transporter-16 rideshare mission: Under a $60 million contract with the U.S. Space Force, the mission will carry multiple national security payloads, showcasing K2 Space’s approach to delivering large payloads with unmatched cost-effectiveness. With its Mega class satellite, featuring a massive 3x3 meter payload bay and a 20-kilowatt electric propulsion system, K2 Space is setting new benchmarks for the space industry. We could not be prouder to have them among our portfolio. Read the full interview with co-founder and CEO Karan Kunjur: https://lnkd.in/d6tQb-4T

So according to the space-track.org, we have approximately 10000 active payloads and 16000 Analyst Objects in space at this moment. And out of that SpaceX has almost 6000 active #satellites. Wow, that's huge!! SAIC, United States Space Force #space #satellite #debris #spaceeconomy #spacebusiness #spacetrack

And we have a successful lift off. What to learn more how this can help in your connectivity requirements in the near future. Let me know #Viasat
