The manufacturing business of Lanteris has over 60 years of experience and has undergone several name changes due to mergers and acquisitions.

The history of the manufacturing business includes names such as Philco, Ford-Philco, Ford Aerospace, and Space Systems/Loral, which was acquired by MDA in 2012.

Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus stated that the acquisition marks a defining moment for the company.

Advent International purchased Maxar, including the spacecraft and imagery and sensing businesses, for $6.4 billion and $2.4 billion in debt in 2023.

Maxar has been rebranded as Vantor.

The terms of the acquisition did not change from the initial announcement in November 2022.

Intuitive Machines adds flight-proven manufacturing at scale through its acquisition of Lanteris.

Chris Johnson joined Lanteris in 2021.

The acquisition positions Intuitive Machines as a vertically integrated space prime.

Chris Johnson will continue as president of Lanteris Space Systems.

Intuitive Machines aims to compete for programs like Golden Dome, Space Development Agency awards, and NASA lunar programs.

Lanteris builds large Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellites, the WorldView Legion-class Lanteris 500, and Space Development Agency (SDA)-class Lanteris 300.

Intuitive Machines purchased Lanteris from private equity firm Advent International.

The purchase price for Lanteris Space Systems was $800 million, consisting of $450 million in cash and $350 million in Intuitive Machines stock.

Lanteris supports L3Harris as a bus provider for SDA contracts.

Intuitive Machines completed the acquisition of Lanteris Space Systems, formerly known as Maxar Space Systems.

The triangulation of the bolide's trajectory showed it coming from the northwest and crossing the sky between the islands of Ponza and Ventotene and the coastline between Gaeta and Terracina.

On the night of January 11, 2026, a bolide was recorded at approximately 21:09 UTC (22:09 local time) by five cameras in five different regions: Amelia, Naples, Rome, San Sepolcro, and Teramo.

Prisma's all-sky cameras did not detect any bolide on January 10, 2026, during the specified time frame.

Dario Barghini, an INAF researcher from Turin, stated that their cameras in Castellana Grotte and Lecce did not register any bolide the evening of January 10, 2026, after 6:00 PM.

On January 10, 2026, an event in the Bari area may have been speculated to be caused by a bolide, but data seems to exclude this possibility.

The orbit of the bolide was highly eccentric, reaching near Mercury at perihelion and extending beyond the outer parts of the asteroid belt towards Jupiter's orbit.

The bolide entered the atmosphere at an altitude of 90 km with a speed of approximately 27 km/s and disintegrated about two and a half seconds later at just over 40 km in altitude.

Dario Barghini emphasized the importance of reporting events like the one on January 10, 2026, even if they turn out to be false alarms, as they provide valuable information for researchers.

Prisma has a reporting form for bolide sightings available on their website.

Xona Space Systems has selected Aerospacelab as its transition manufacturing partner for initial Pulsar deployment.

Xona Space Systems raised nearly $100 million over the summer to scale its constellation for commercial navigation services worldwide.
