\"Mynaric<\/p>\n

Mynaric, one of the leading providers of industrialized, cost-effective, and scalable laser communications products, announced the delivery of multiple CONDOR Mk2 optical communications terminals to Telesat Government Solutions (GS), a wholly-owned U.S.-based subsidiary of leading satellite operator Telesat. <\/p>\n

Mynaric\u2019s first delivery of flight-ready CONDOR optical communications terminals for space applications marks an important milestone towards the product family\u2019s space flight heritage. Next, the terminals will be mounted to the Croupier satellites as part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency\u2019s (DARPA) Blackjack Track B program and subsequently launched into space to commence the mission\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe delivery of flight-ready space products marks an important milestone in Mynaric\u2019s history as we get a big step closer to establishing space heritage within the next few months,\u201d said Bulent Altan, Co-CEO of Mynaric. \u201cWe have prepared for this inaugural customer mission of our CONDOR product through extensive product development and testing by our team and close collaboration with the team at Telesat GS. Now we look forward to the final phase of launch preparations and to the mission\u2019s operational phase which will further cement the importance of laser communications technology in proliferated-LEO constellations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith satellite programs moving from the drawing board to implementation we are now fully focused on delivering industrialized and cost-effective optical communications terminals at scale to the hands of our customers,\u201d said Mustafa Veziroglu, Co-CEO of Mynaric. \u201cOur laser communications products are on track for significant production ramp-up this year and we are looking forward to shipping flight-ready units to existing and prospective customers this year onwards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blackjack is a joint technology demonstration project by DARPA and the U.S. Space Force to evaluate the utility and concepts of operation for a large-scale proliferated low Earth orbit satellite constellation. The overarching goal of the program is to leverage developments from the commercial sector to create commodity satellite platforms and payloads for defense purposes. In Q4 2020, Mynaric was selected by Telesat GS to supply optical communications terminals to the Blackjack satellite program which were now delivered. The delivery of flight-ready CONDOR Mk2 units to Telesat GS follows shortly after Mynaric\u2019s delivery of HAWK units to an energy customer in Q4 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
