In March, Maxar contracted SpaceX to launch the initial block of WorldView Legion satellites on two Falcon 9 rockets using previously flown first-stage boosters.
Maxar Technologies plans to significantly reduce capital expenditures after completing construction of the WorldView Legion constellation to focus on curbing its $3,000,000,000 debt load.
Maxar plans to begin a significant reduction in capital expenditures and an increase in free cash flow to drive rapid deleveraging once WorldView Legion construction finishes in 2020.
Maxar is building the WorldView Legion constellation to replace its three oldest satellites: the 11-year-old WorldView-1, the 10-year-old GeoEye-1, and the nine-year-old WorldView-2.
On 2018-11-28, Maxar linked unloading SSL’s geostationary satellite manufacturing business, via a sale of SSL or a sale of the 29 acres of real estate it occupies in Silicon Valley, to company deleveraging.
Telesat plans to downselect between the Maxar-Thales Alenia Space team and Airbus Defence and Space in the spring of 2019 and has not specified how many of the 300 satellites the winning company will build.
Maxar is on a team with Thales Alenia Space competing to build Telesat’s $3,000,000,000 low-Earth-orbit internet constellation.
Telesat awarded study contracts to Airbus Defence and Space and to a team of Maxar Technologies and Thales Alenia Space to evaluate how to build its constellation.
DigitalGlobe is building the WorldView Legion constellation with an estimated cost of $600,000,000.
With the three added years, the estimated revenue for DigitalGlobe over the life of the EnhancedView contract would reach about $1,500,000,000.
The National Reconnaissance Office signed a separate contract for an undisclosed amount to fund a DigitalGlobe cloud computing infrastructure upgrade to ease data sharing between DigitalGlobe and the U.S. government.
DigitalGlobe will support the National Reconnaissance Office with the WorldView-1, WorldView-2, and WorldView-3 satellites as long as they continue to perform.
DigitalGlobe secured a $900,000,000 contract extension from the National Reconnaissance Office to provide commercial imagery until August 2023.
Spacecom terminated its contract with Space Systems Loral six months after ordering Amos-8 following domestic criticism that selecting an overseas contractor jeopardized Israel Aerospace Industries’ ability to remain in the telecom satellite manufacturing business.
Spacecom originally ordered Amos-8 from U.S.-based Space Systems Loral in March as a replacement for Amos-6.
When Spacecom contracted with Space Systems Loral, Spacecom planned to have Amos-8 built and launched by 2020.
SSL’s first large printed structure was the antenna strut tower on Sky Perfect JSAT’s JCSAT-110A communications satellite launched in December 2016.
SSL established an Additive Center of Excellence near its Palo Alto, California headquarters six years ago.
SSL’s additive manufacturing team at the Additive Center of Excellence developed a proprietary qualification and production approach.
Space Systems Loral now has more than 1,000 additively manufactured parts in orbit on 15 spacecraft after launching four more satellites between 2018-07-22 and 2018-09-25.
