Terran Orbital Corporation (NYSE: LLAP), a global leader in satellite solutions primarily serving the United States and Allied aerospace and defense industries, has delivered LunIR to Complex 39B at NASA&CloseCurlyQuote Kennedy Space Center. LunIR is a 6U satellite that will fly by the Moon and collect surface thermography as a secondary payload on Artemis 1 – a test mission for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS). Offering greater payload mass, volume capability and energy, SLS, the world’s most powerful rocket to date, can carry more payload into deep space than any other vehicle. SLS is also home to the Orion capsule – NASA’s spacecraft that will carry humans deep into space. After the flight, LunIR will conduct technology demonstrations related to deep space operations.

Terran Orbital will guide LunIR via a “lunar camera” vision guidance system that incorporates a new Lockheed Martin algorithm for locating pointing targets. The Lunar InfraRed imaging spacecraft, also known as LunIR, is the result of a joint effort between Lockheed Martin and Terran Orbital. Lockheed Martin developed the LunIR&CloseCurlyQuote infrared sensor and cryocooler to operate both day and night, mapping the lunar surface, detecting materials and collecting thermal signatures. The company also provides overall systems engineering and mission planning. Terran Orbital designed and built the spacecraft and is responsible for mission integration and assurance. The mission’s primary goal is a technology demonstration whose findings will potentially address NASA and CloseCurlyQuote strategic knowledge gaps for surface characterization, remote sensing, and site selection observations for the Moon, as well as long-duration missions to Mars. The LunIR sensor could be an important tool for astronauts returning to the Moon and going beyond Mars. “Working with Lockheed Martin and NASA is always a privilege,” said Marc Bell, Co-Founder, President and CEO of Terran Orbital. “The technologies that Lockheed and NASA bring to the table are second to none. LunIR will help us understand the truly infinite opportunities in lunar and Mars travel. Terran Orbital is grateful for the opportunity to develop and operate the spacecraft for this groundbreaking mission.” “We look forward to continuing to work with Terran Orbital on this important technology demonstration, and look forward to seeing what images LunIR collects from the Moon once it’s on its way,” said John Ricks, Lockheed Martin’s LunIR program manager. LunIR includes two deployable solar panels. The 11 kg satellite will communicate with Earth via ground stations operated by Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) in Punta Arenas, Chile. Svalbard, Norway; and Troll Station, Antarctica. About the Terran Orbital Terran Orbital is a leading satellite manufacturer primarily serving the United States and allied aerospace and defense industries. Terran Orbital provides complete satellite solutions combining design, production, launch planning, mission operations and on-orbit support to meet the needs of the most demanding military, civilian and commercial customers.
