Space Force awards satellite deals

December 23, 2025

|

Los Angeles Times

The U.S. Space Force announced that it has awarded satellite contracts with a combined value of about $1.6 billion to Rocket Lab in Long Beach and to the Redondo Beach Space Park campus of Northrop Grumman.

- BY LAURENCE DARMIENTO

The contracts by the Space Development Agency will fund the construction by each company of 18 satellites for a network in development that will provide warning of advanced threats such as hypersonic missiles.

Northrop Grumman has been awarded contracts for prior phases of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture, a planned network of missile defense and communications satellites in low Earth orbit.

The contract announced Friday is valued at $764 million, and the Falls Church, Va., company is now set to deliver a total of 150 satellites for the network.
