TacSat will ship to a launch site in California for final processing ahead of liftoff in 2025.
TacSat will host a proven Lockheed Martin infrared sensor on board that brings previously developed technology to space for the first time.
TacSat is based on the Space Development Agency’s Transport Layer Tranche 0 design to reduce risk for future SDA tranches while providing flexibility to prototype new payload types.
Later 2023 Lockheed Martin plans to launch three small satellites—two Pony Express 2 satellites and a TacSat—to serve as test platforms for military networks connecting air, ground, naval, and space systems.
