Millennium Space Systems, a Boeing [NYSE: BA] company, was awarded an Other Transaction Agreement with the U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command to deliver an additional plane of six Missile Track Custody, or MTC, satellites in support of its Resilient Missile Warning and Tracking Medium Earth Orbit Epoch 1 program.Millennium Space Systems is now on contract to deliver two planes, or 12 MTC satellites, plus their associated ground system and mission operations.
This constellation will fill a crucial gap in U.S. missile defense capabilities, said Lindsay Dewald, who manages the satellite program at Millennium Space. The first six satellites are scheduled for delivery in late 2026, with the second batch following in late 2027.
“Once on orbit, Epoch 1 satellites will play a vital role in delivering advanced missile warning and tracking capabilities,” said Lt. Col. Nathan Terrazone, materiel leader for the Epoch 1 space branch, Resilient Missile Warning and Tracking MEO program. “Our commitment is to rapidly deliver operational requirements. Awarding this additional plane lets us do that without skipping a beat.”
