(New York) – An Akin team represented Terran Orbital Corporation, a global leader in satellite-based solutions, and its wholly owned subsidiary Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems, Inc., in its $2.4 billion contract to design, build and deploy 288 low-Earth orbit satellites for Rivada Space Networks. As part of the contract, Terran Orbital will also develop 12 “spare” satellites to produce a total of 300 spacecraft.
Terran Orbital, through its subsidiary Tyvak, will act as the prime contractor to design and manufacture the approximately 500-kg. satellites, integrate the communication payload and perform the final satellite assembly, integration and test. Terran Orbital will also be responsible for developing portions of the ground segment.
Mission operations for the on-orbit satellites will be conducted from a state-of-the-art satellite operations control center. Rivada expects to begin deploying its constellation as early as 2025, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, with the anticipated launch of four of its satellites.
