L3Harris expanded a payload production facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

L3Harris expects the new Space & Mission Systems segment to drive approximately $11.5 billion in revenue in 2026 due to growth in ISR aircraft missionization and space solutions.

L3Harris moved the Communication Systems business into a Communications & Spectrum Dominance (CSD) segment that also includes the company’s WESCAM sensor business and other electronic warfare programs.

L3Harris set Missile Solutions (MSL) guidance for 2026 at $4.4 billion.

Space and Airborne Systems revenue increased 1% year-over-year to $6.9 billion in 2025.

L3Harris reported $21.9 billion in company-wide revenue for 2025, up 3% year-over-year.

L3Harris attributed a 50 basis-point improvement in Space and Airborne Systems operating margin to stabilizing program performance and a cost savings program, bringing the margin to 12.3% in 2025.

L3Harris provided company-wide guidance for 2026 of $23 billion to $23.5 billion.

ispace and Daimon signed a basic agreement on January 30, 2026 to study development of a payload transport box for mounting on lunar landers.

Sky Perfect JSAT’s ground station will perform one-way Doppler measurements of Orion and conduct signal measurements in Earth orbit and cislunar space from February to April 2026.

The Crew-12 mission crew comprises NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev.

Lavochkin plans to launch related systems including a nuclear power plant, charging stations, and lunar rovers between 2033 and 2035.

ispace will use Daimon’s deploy­ment system on an ispace-developed lander to transport the deploy­ment system and enable release of small lunar surface payloads.

Sky Perfect JSAT is the only Asian commercial company selected to serve as a ground station to receive Orion signals for Artemis II.

NASA set the earliest planned launch date for the long-duration ISS mission Crew-12 as February 11, 2026 at 06:00 US time (February 11, 2026 at 20:00 Japan time).

The crewed lunar flyby mission Artemis II is scheduled for launch in early February 2026.

SpaceX Dragon will be the spacecraft used for the Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station.

NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy committed to support research and development of fission power systems intended for use on the Moon and similar environments.

The payload transport box concept is intended to simplify mounting on landers, enable release onto the lunar surface, and provide customer-requested thermal management and radiation protection.

Sky Perfect JSAT will use its ground-station facilities for lunar exploration for the first time during Artemis II.

Lavochkin Research and Production Association plans to launch three systems between 2033 and 2035 as part of building a future lunar nuclear power plant.

Sky Perfect JSAT Corporation (Skaparu JSAT) was selected as a ground station to receive signals from the Orion spacecraft during the Artemis II mission.

Installing the P120C boosters on Ariane 64 represents a key technical step toward full operability of the Ariane 64 variant.

The Ariane 64 four-booster configuration is designed to support high-mass missions and constellation deployment campaigns requiring reliability and continuity.

The Ariane 64 configuration uses four P120C solid rocket boosters.

Higher per-launch satellite capacity on Ariane 64 reduces the total number of missions required for constellation deployment campaigns.

The increased thrust of Ariane 64 expands the operational margin for missions with aggregated payloads.

The initial Ariane 64 mission LE-01 is planned to deploy 32 satellites.

The installation of the four P120C boosters increases liftoff thrust for the Ariane 64 configuration.

Further upgrades to the P120C boosters are planned to increase Ariane 64 launch capacity beyond the initial capability.

Arianespace teams moved four P120C boosters to the pad and installed them on the Ariane 64 launch vehicle.

Hungry Hippo was transported to Rocket Lab’s Neutron Assembly and Integration Complex at Wallops Island.

Hungry Hippo is the first captive fairing designed for a commercial rocket.

Engineers and technicians at Rocket Lab will complete inspections of Hungry Hippo and prepare the fairing for further pre-launch testing at Neutron’s launch and test site.

Neutron’s fairing halves open and close for second-stage deployment within a matter of seconds.

Neutron is capable of launching up to 13,000 kg of payload and cargo to space.

Typical launch fairing halves fall away prior to payload deployment and are disposable or require collection at sea.

Rocket Lab Launch Complex 3 at Wallops Island is the nearby launch and test site for Neutron’s pre-launch testing.

Hungry Hippo cleared qualification testing late last year before being delivered to Wallops Island.

Neutron is intended to support missions involving national security, space science and human exploration, and constellation deployment for satellite internet and Earth observation.

Neutron is designed to be a reusable carbon-composite rocket.

The ‘Hungry Hippo’ captive fairing for Rocket Lab’s Neutron rocket has arrived at Wallops Island, Virginia.

The Italian government is accompanying the relaunch of Baykar Piaggio Aerospace with operational decisions intended to support the program.

The relaunch of Piaggio Aero is intended to restore production stability and development prospects at the Albenga site.

The transfer of Piaggio Aero to Baykar Piaggio Aerospace marks a discontinuity compared with previous years for the Albenga site.

Liguria hosts production infrastructures and specialized know-how that contribute to the Italian aerospace supply chain and to qualified employment.
