Take a look at the incredible work of technicians assembling a key power and propulsion element for NASA’s Gateway Program, the future lunar space station that will be the most powerful solar electric #spacecraft ever flown! The Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) is crucial to the Gateway program. It features the largest solar arrays ever built—about the size of an American football field endzone—harnessing the sun's energy to power #DeepSpace exploration. Together, we're opening new frontiers for international #astronauts to live and work beyond Earth, and we're thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking mission! #NASA #SpaceTech Read more: https://lnkd.in/gvqGn2JF

#MaxarSpaceSystems has over 10 years of experience using #AdditiveManufacturing for flight components! As previously mentioned, we passed 10,000 AM parts on-orbit this year, with over 35 satellites currently using #3Dprinted Titanium, Aluminum, or Plastic parts. AM enables complex, unique geometry that is customized to each #satellite. Pictured is NASA's Psyche spacecraft with 3D printed titanium components.

We are celebrating another successful launch today!
Another launch success! Our third and fourth WorldView Legion satellites are performing well after launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station earlier this morning. They are receiving and sending signals, and they will now undergo the commissioning process, with first images expected soon. These are the first Maxar satellites launched into mid-inclination orbit (MIO), meaning they will orbit around the Earth’s mid-latitudes instead of its poles. MIO unlocks dawn-to-dusk collection, getting us ever closer to delivering near- and real-time insights to support our customers’ toughest missions. With this successful launch, Maxar’s constellation now includes eight satellites on orbit, including four next-generation WorldView Legion satellites. The first two WorldView Legion satellites were launched in May, with first images released by Maxar in July.

We are looking forward to the launch of the second set of WorldView Legion satellites! The launch will be broadcast on spacex.com and on x.com/spacex.
As announced on X, SpaceX has scheduled the launch of our second set of WorldView Legion satellites for tomorrow, August 15, at 9 a.m. ET, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida! The launch will be broadcast on spacex.com and on x.com/spacex. These two Earth imaging satellites will be our first in mid-inclination orbit, enabling us to collect 30 cm-class imagery at new times from dawn to dusk and expanding our ability to deliver more real-time insights to support our customers' missions.

Check it out below! Launch base processing is progressing smoothly. The next two WorldView Legion satellites are now mated onto a custom dispenser and are being prepped for integration with the rocket in the coming days. Find more details about the dispenser designed for WorldView Legion in the linked blog post. #ittakesalegion
Our team designed a new, custom dispenser for launching the WorldView Legion satellites. The dispenser is a critical mechanical part that secures the satellites to the launch vehicle, protects them during launch, and helps deploy them into orbit. We worked with forging and machine shop partners, Scot Forge and Tech-Max Machine, Inc., to create the high-quality parts that were assembled into the dispenser. “The effort that we went through in terms of design and finding the partners capable of doing this type of forging and machining is the kind of experience we can pass on to future projects,” said Wen Lee, a mission assurance engineer at Maxar who contributed to the dispenser design and development. “We’ve had great teamwork on this program, and I’m impressed with the outcome.” The dispenser was successfully used to launch Maxar’s first two WorldView Legion satellites into orbit and will soon be used again on our second launch. This GIF shows the first two WorldView Legion satellites installed on the dispenser and being encapsulated in the rocket fairing ahead of the May 2024 launch.
