SDA&#8217;s T0TL is a proliferated LEO constellation that will demonstrate low-latency communication and provide a resilient network of integrated capabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The small satellites were launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Soon after liftoff, SDA confirmed the separation of all 10 of the Lockheed Martin-built satellites from the launch vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lockheed Martin is proud to be part of SDA&#8217;s mission to rapidly bring a threat-driven, resilient set of integrated space capabilities to life,&#8221; said <strong>Joe Rickers, Lockheed Martin&#8217;s vice president for Protected Communications<\/strong>. &#8220;We look forward to contributing more of our expertise to this mission to strengthen deterrence and deliver advanced military capabilities in space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Each satellite incorporates a Terran Orbital bus and payload processors and is equipped with SmartSat, Lockheed Martin&#8217;s software platform that makes it easier to dynamically add and quickly change missions in orbit through simple app uploads. The satellites also host Link 16 radios to introduce a terrestrial-proven network in space. Link-16 will enable sensor-to-shooter targeting by connecting systems that include fighter aircraft and Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) networks.<\/p>\n<p>Lockheed Martin is currently building 42 satellites for SDA&#8217;s Tranche 1 Transport Layer (T1TL) and was recently awarded an agreement to build 36 of SDA&#8217;s 72 Beta variant satellites for its Tranche 2 Transport Layer (T2TL) constellation. The T1TL and T2TL Beta satellites will be assembled, integrated, and tested in Lockheed Martin&#8217;s new small satellite (smallsat) processing facility that is designed for the high-volume delivery of complete satellites. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lockheed Martin is partnering with the best minds in the industry to support SDA&#8217;s mission to provide resilient national security space capabilities through a revolutionary approach of proliferation and spiral development. A diverse supplier base and small business partnerships, in addition to streamlined smallsat processing methods, enable the company to accelerate technology innovation and delivery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JBeJVN-0t2I?&amp;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"fr-draggable\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten Lockheed Martin-built satellites have successfully been deployed into low-Earth orbit (LEO) in support of the Space Development Agency&#8217;s (SDA) Tranche 0 Transport Layer (T0TL) mission.
