Terran Orbital Boosts Enterprise Satellite Fleet for Massive Constellations

Terran Orbital Announces New Configurations for Largest Enterprise Satellite Platform

Terran Orbital, a satellite manufacturer based in Boca Raton, Florida, has unveiled additional configurations of its largest Enterprise satellite platform. These new configurations are specifically designed for large constellation deployment, offering enhanced capabilities and improved performance.

The company has developed a new power storage system that reduces weight while increasing the power available to the payload. The Enterprise platform now offers three configurable options: A, B, and C. Each configuration comes with Optical Inter-Satellite Link (OISL) functionality and features a large, flat deck optimized for communication and RF payloads.

Configuration A is considered the standard model, providing a solid foundation for various applications. Configuration B, on the other hand, serves as the flagship model for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) missions, offering additional power and payload mass. Lastly, configuration C prioritizes redundancy and power upgrades, making it ideal for Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and Geostationary Orbit (GEO) applications.

"Over a decade ago, Terran Orbital pioneered the creation of CubeSat standards, and today, it is revolutionizing the manufacturing of satellite buses yet again," said Marc Bell, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Terran Orbital. "We are establishing benchmarks for satellite technology for the coming decade. Terran Orbital employs top-of-the-line automation and modern manufacturing processes to support the delivery of hundreds of satellites annually. From order to launch, in quantities from one to a constellation of one hundred, Terran Orbital is proud to accelerate the delivery of mission solutions."

In September, Terran Orbital initially introduced the Enterprise class as part of its seven new bus classes. Alongside this announcement, the company revealed its plans to expand satellite manufacturing capabilities by opening a new 60,000 square feet facility in Irvine, California. The seven ITAR-compliant classes range from the largest, 'Enterprise', to the smallest platform, 'Triumph', and offer a range of wet launch masses from 14 to 1000 kg.

In addition to the expanded Enterprise class, Terran Orbital also introduced the Ambassador, Nebula, Excelsior, Voyager, Renegade, and Triumph buses. These new configurations and expanded manufacturing capabilities position Terran Orbital as a leading provider of satellite solutions, catering to a wide range of mission requirements.

With its commitment to innovation and its track record of delivering high-quality satellite buses, Terran Orbital continues to shape the future of the space industry.
