SSL is a division of Maxar Technologies and is providing the RSGS satellite bus, the operations center, and the ground-based communications network.
DARPA scheduled SSL to be ready for a systems requirements review for the RSGS spacecraft bus in October 2018.
Under a contract with the Space and Missile Systems Center’s Space Enterprise Consortium, SSL will develop, test, and analyze antenna subsystem prototypes to demonstrate technologies for resilient, cost-effective, high-performance protected tactical satellite communications.
In 2013, the Space and Missile Systems Center awarded Space Systems/Loral an option to continue working on design concepts for next-generation protected military satellite communications.
Space Systems Loral won two $2,000,000 contracts to test in-space electric propulsion technologies including transferring xenon from one spacecraft to another for satellite servicing.
Eutelsat-25B/Es’hail-1 was built by SSL and carries Ku- and Ka-band capacity for television broadcasting and connectivity services in the Middle East and Northern Africa.
The Day 1 issue of the Show Daily was published on 2018-08-07 and features coverage of Rocket Lab, NASA’s smallsat initiative, Spaceflight, Terran Orbital, Ursa Major, Loft Orbital, Telesat’s LEO constellation, and Maxar’s new smallsat division.
SSL created a small satellite division based in a new facility in San Jose, California.
SSL was selected through the Space Enterprise Consortium managed by Advanced Technology International to lead a team that will provide the U.S. Missile Defense Agency with a persistent space layer prototype concept for missile defense.
Space Systems Loral of Palo Alto, California built the Merah Putih satellite ahead of schedule.
SSL is working with Thales Alenia Space to design Telesat’s low Earth orbit broadband satellite constellation.
Telesat awarded a similar constellation design contract on 2018-07-30 to a team of Maxar Technologies and Thales Alenia Space.
Maxar's business backlog stood at $3,050,000,000 as of 2018-06-30, down from $3,320,000,000 at the end of 2017-12-01.
Maxar expects most WorldView Legion spending to take place from 2018 through 2020 before focusing on paying down its $3,100,000,000 debt.
Maxar reported imagery revenue of $212,000,000 for the quarter, an increase of 5 percent year over year.
Maxar anticipates more near-term spending on its $600,000,000 WorldView Legion constellation of remote sensing satellites.
SpaceX is scheduled to launch Maxar's WorldView Legion constellation in 2021 using two pre-flown Falcon 9 rockets.
SSL is building the WorldView Legion satellites with a resolution of 0.3 m that will triple DigitalGlobe’s imaging capacity over high-demand regions.
Maxar reported a net loss of $18,600,000 for the quarter, compared to a $19,300,000 profit for the same period in 2017.
The design collaboration positions Thales Alenia Space and Maxar Technologies as a team that could ultimately build Telesat’s 117-satellite system and accompanying ground segment if Telesat makes a manufacturing award in mid-2019.
