The U.S. Space Force has awarded prototype contracts to Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Anduril Industries, and True Anomaly for the 'Golden Dome' program.
The inclusion of non-traditional defense companies Anduril Industries and True Anomaly validates the Pentagon's 'buy vs. build' shift.
The U.S. Space Force awarded initial contracts for the development of space-based interceptor prototypes to Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Anduril Industries, and True Anomaly on November 29, 2025.
True Anomaly launched its first two spacecraft in March 2024 to low Earth orbit to demonstrate rendezvous and proximity operations.
True Anomaly successfully deployed and established communication with its Jackal satellite on its second mission.
Communication was lost with True Anomaly’s first two spacecraft shortly after their March 2024 launch.
True Anomaly seeks to serve the defense and national security market with spacecraft designed for military orbital operations and space domain awareness.
MX-2 is True Anomaly’s latest deployment of a mission-capable Jackal spacecraft powered by the Mosaic software platform.
Mission X-2 (MX-2) will conduct functional testing of the Jackal spacecraft in low Earth orbit while utilizing True Anomaly’s Mosaic autonomy and mission command and control software platform over the coming months.
True Anomaly plans to continue maturing the Jackal AOV and Mosaic software platform over the next twelve months based on learnings from MX-2.
True Anomaly has raised over $125,000,000 in funding.
The U.S. Space Force selected Rocket Lab to build and launch Victus Haze, a 2025 in-space surveillance mission that will demonstrate rendezvous and proximity operations with a True Anomaly satellite.
During the build phase True Anomaly will complete development and testing of the Jackal Autonomous Orbital Vehicle at its GravityWorks factory in Denver, Colorado.
True Anomaly and Firefly will remain on call until the U.S. Space Force provides a notice to launch.
True Anomaly was selected for the VICTUS HAZE mission in April 2024.
The first Firefly Alpha mission under the agreement will deploy True Anomaly’s Jackal Autonomous Orbital Vehicle for the U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command’s VICTUS HAZE Tactically Responsive Space mission targeted for 2025.
True Anomaly will complete development and testing of its Jackal Autonomous Orbital Vehicle at its Denver facility before shipping the vehicle to Firefly Aerospace’s processing facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California.
True Anomaly will complete development and testing of the Jackal Autonomous Orbital Vehicle at its GravityWorks factory in Denver, Colorado.
On 2024-10-17, True Anomaly selected Firefly Aerospace’s Alpha rocket to launch its Jackal autonomous orbital vehicle for a U.S. Space Force rapid-response demonstration mission.
True Anomaly and Firefly will remain on call until the U.S. Space Force provides a notice to launch.
