Quantum Space projects having more than 40 Scout spacecraft in service throughout cislunar space by 2032.
SCOUT’s in-space products and services were first launched in June 2021.
SCOUT was awarded a $44,500,000 contract for the Tetra-5 mission through the Space Enterprise Consortium (SpEC) in collaboration with Hera Systems and Booz Allen Hamilton and led by Orion Space Solutions.
SCOUT’s two STTR Phase I awards under Orbital Prime are for Real-time Autonomous Uncertainty and Risk Monitoring and for Robust Optical Tracking integration into Real-time Orbital Determination (RTOD).
SCOUT and Benchmark Space Systems have shared missions in the past and have synergies that create opportunities to work cooperatively to deliver pre-integrated, bundled solutions to the market.
The first SCOUT Vision payload launched in June 2021 on an Orbit Fab on-orbit refueling spacecraft and is currently in operation.
Scout estimates deploying more than 100 OVER-Sat systems by 2026 to provide continuous observation and coverage of LEO.
Momentus selected Scout to deliver spacecraft vision capabilities for upcoming missions and Scout won a $50,000 U.S. Air Force contract to demonstrate space-collected data for debris tracking and collision predictions.
Scout plans to operate its own six-unit cubesats named OVER-Sat and plans the first OVER-Sat mission in the second quarter of 2023.
Scout deployed its first SSA payload, Scout-Vision, to orbit in July 2021 onboard Tanker-001 Tenzing, Orbit Fab’s satellite refueling demo spacecraft.
The first phase of the SCOUT exercises will begin in mid-2022 and will be spread over a few months as a cycle of rapid sprint discovery events leading to a Phase 2 main experimentation event.
The first phase of the SCOUT exercises will begin mid-2022 and will run over a period of 3–6 months as a cycle of rapid sprint discovery events leading to a Phase 2 main experimentation event.
