Arcfield’s Orion Space Solutions has secured initial contracts worth over $24 million to build over 25 advanced payloads for an undisclosed space customer.
These awards have a total potential contract value of over $100M as batch deliveries are completed. The contracts cover design, manufacturing, testing and calibration of mission-specific instrumentation over multiple years.
“Orion’s high-performance payloads are at the heart of the future of space-based intelligence,” said Kevin Kelly, chairman and CEO at Arcfield. “This effort reinforces Arcfield’s role as a leading hardware provider for novel commercial and defense space initiatives.”
Gregg Burgess, president and general manager at Orion, said the partnership reflects the company’s focus on advancing space-based environmental monitoring.
“With these payloads, we are leveraging decades of advanced sensor development to support space-based intelligence and next-generation satellite systems,” he added.
