Space Components Contract Awarded to Comtech
Exceeds $5 Million for Support of Critical Civil Space Program
A follow-on contract worth over $5 million in support of a key civil space exploration program has been awarded to Comtech. Under the terms of the contract, the company will supply advanced electronic components and component engineering services to one of the nation’s leading aerospace and defense prime contractors contributing to the next generation of human space exploration.
“With the global space industry projected to grow to $1.8 trillion by 2035, we anticipate continued demand from our key space components customers.”

Together, Comtech and its end customer will deliver innovative technologies to help the U.S. explore new areas of the lunar surface. “We are honored to support this critical civil space program, and this award demonstrates the trust of our partners as we continue to deliver mission-critical technologies and services for some of the most high-profile space missions in the world,” said Daniel Gizinski, President of Comtech’s Satellite & Space Communications Segment. “Comtech has over 50 years of experience providing space engineering services and end-to-end microelectronics to a variety of global space customers. With the global space industry projected to grow to $1.8 trillion by 2035, we anticipate continued demand from our key space components customers with the opportunity for expansion in new areas.”
As a trusted end-to-end microelectronics supplier, Comtech has provided comprehensive parts procurement and supply chain management for space-bound customers around the world since 1976. Today, some of the most demanding space organizations, including NASA and the Department of Defense, continue to rely on Comtech for management of critical space components.
This $5M follow-on contract shows how essential reliable component supply chains are becoming for lunar programs. Comtech's 50-year track record in microelectronics matters way more than people realize, especially when the components are heading to environments where you cant exactly send a repair crew. The projection of the space industry hitting $1.8T by 2035 sounds agressive but makes sense when I think about the sheer complexity of supply chain coordination needed for these missions.
