SBIRS GEO-6 is planned to launch in 2022.
SBIRS GEO-6 is being built on the LM 2100 Combat Bus.
Atlas V is slated to launch SBIRS GEO-6 in 2022.
SBIRS GEO-6 is planned to launch on an Atlas 5 rocket.
The new contract funds work to maintain and sustain infrastructure for the Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution ground control system and to ensure SBIRS GEO-5 and GEO-6 are incorporated into the operational constellation.
The contract covers logistics support of existing SBIRS ground systems and upgrades needed to operate the SBIRS GEO-5 and SBIRS GEO-6 satellites.
SBIRS GEO-6 is being built using the new LM 2100 combat bus and is projected to launch in 2022.
On 2021-09-02, U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command determined that SBIRS GEO-6 was complete.
SBIRS GEO-6 is the second military space satellite built on Lockheed Martin’s modernized LM2100 Combat Bus.
SBIRS GEO-6 will be equipped with powerful scanning and staring infrared surveillance sensors that operate 24-7.
Lockheed Martin’s sixth Space Based Infrared System Geosynchronous Earth Orbit satellite is designated SBIRS GEO-6.
SBIRS GEO-6 went into storage nearly a month ahead of its 2021-09-30 Acquisition Program Baseline requirement date.
SBIRS GEO-5 and SBIRS GEO-6 were originally slated to be clones of previous SBIRS satellites before being upgraded to the LM2100 Combat Bus.
SBIRS GEO-6 will feature an LM2100 Combat Bus™ and was on track for a summer 2022 launch.
SBIRS GEO-6 is expected to launch in July 2022 and is the last SBIRS program launch.
Lockheed Martin Space, Northrop Grumman Space Systems, The Aerospace Corporation, multiple support contractors, and government personnel formed a combined team supporting SBIRS GEO-6 production and delivery.
