Satellites based on the A2100 can now also be dual launched side by side on a single rocket.<\/p>\n<p>The dual launch capability comes from the use of flexible solar arrays, reducing mass and resulting in a narrower satellite. The reprogramming technology enables processing and routing of signals through the satellite, instead of amplifying incoming signals and routing them back to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Lockheed Martin uses a \u201cdigital tapestry\u201d virtual production process that includes 3-D printing to accelerate the manufacturing process.
