The work includes design, manufacturing, testing, and calibration of mission-specific instrumentation over a multi-year period. These awards have a total potential contract value of over $100M as batch deliveries are completed.
“Orion’s high-performance payloads are at the heart of the future of space-based intelligence,” said Kevin Kelly, chairman and CEO, Arcfield. “This effort reinforces Arcfield’s role as a leading hardware provider for novel commercial and defense space initiatives.”
The Orion payloads will enable unprecedented space-based environmental monitoring (SBEM) capabilities and are the result of decades of Orion heritage in these technological areas.
“Collaborating with our partner on this mission underscores Orion’s commitment to delivering game-changing innovations in space-based environmental monitoring,” said Gregg Burgess, president and general manager, Orion. “With these payloads, we are leveraging decades of advanced sensor development to support space-based intelligence and next-generation satellite systems.”
