Lockheed Martin (LMT) has awarded Terran Orbital (LLAP) a contract to build 36 satellite buses for Space Development Agency’s Tranche 2 Transport Layer Beta constellation. Terran Orbital will deliver the buses to Lockheed Martin, which will conduct payload integration and jointly operate the satellites with SDA. SDA’s T2TL Beta constellation will advance the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture’s initial warfighting capability with targeted technology enhancements, mission-focused payload configurations, and increased integration. Terran Orbital is currently building 42 buses for Lockheed Martin to help the company fulfill its $700M contract for the SDA’s Tranche 1 Transport Layer, currently scheduled for a late 2024 launch. The T2TL Beta satellites are scheduled to be deployed into low Earth orbit during a series of launches starting in 2026.
