The Mission Manifest Office used strategic partners NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA Wallops Flight Facility, and numerous industry participants for the TDO-3 and TDO-4 effort.
TDO-3 and TDO-4 carry multiple U.S. Government sponsored payloads that will provide experimental data for the United States Air Force Academy.
DNet Engineering & Integration of Denver, Colorado operated as the bus manufacturer and payload integrator for the TDO-3 and TDO-4 satellite vehicles.
Parsons Corporation developed the interchangeable EZ Integrated Flight System that was designed to house the TDO-3 and TDO-4 satellite vehicles.
TDO-3 and TDO-4 will deploy into an optimized geostationary transfer orbit after the first upper-stage main engine cutoff (MECO-1) and prior to the SBIRS GEO-5 satellite’s separation.
The U.S. Space Force Space and Missile Systems Center’s Launch Enterprise Mission Manifest Office delivered two fully tested and integrated multi-manifest satellite vehicles, Technology Demonstration Orbiters TDO-3 and TDO-4, to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on 2021-05-04 for integration aboard the SBIRS GEO-5 mission.
