Lockheed Martin: MUOS satellite design validated
(CercleFinance.com) - On Friday Lockheed Martin announced that it has demonstrated the maturity of its satellite design in support of the US Space Force (USSF) Space Systems Command's Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) Service Life Extension (SLE) program, with the successful completion of a preliminary design review.
The company says that these future MUOS satellites will be essential for providing secure, crystal-clear communications to military forces on the move.
Lockheed Martin has partnered with SEAKR Engineering to design a new MUOS payload processor, capable of being reprogrammed in orbit.
Lockheed Martin is one of two companies selected to develop concepts for future MUOS satellites in Phase 1 of the program, which focuses on preliminary design activities and risk reduction.
At the end of Phase 1, the USSF will select a supplier for Phase 2, which will cover the production, testing and delivery of two new MUOS satellites, scheduled for launch by 2030.
