As recently announced, Maxar was selected by NASA to build and
perform a spaceflight demonstration of the power and propulsion
element spacecraft. The spacecraft is the first element for the
NASA-led lunar Gateway, which will play a critical role in ensuring
that NASA astronauts can land on the surface of the Moon by 2024
while serving as a vital platform to support future missions to
Mars and beyond. The mission is targeted for launch by the end of
2022 and will provide power, maneuvering, attitude control,
communications systems and initial docking capabilities for the
Gateway.
The agreement enables Dynetics to collaborate with Maxar in the
design, manufacturing and operations of Maxar’s power and
propulsion element spacecraft. Dynetics has a wide range of
capabilities to support Maxar in areas such as propulsion systems,
mechanical and propulsion testing, system integration and assembly,
and mission operations.
“We’re thrilled to add Dynetics to our team and bring power and
propulsion element work to Huntsville. Dynetics has decades of
expertise in human space exploration, and will play a critical role
in executing the Artemis mission, landing the first woman on the
surface of the Moon, and establishing the sustainable space
infrastructure that is necessary to explore Mars,” said Mike Gold,
Maxar’s Vice President of Civil Space.
“This is an exciting time for lunar exploration. We look for
space partners that share our similar core values and are eager to
see America return to the Moon. Maxar fills that role and Dynetics
is glad to be on the team. Maxar’s power and propulsion element
will be a vital element of the lunar Gateway and will aid
establishment of a sustainable presence on the Moon. We are looking
forward to this partnership and to participating in the development
of the lunar architecture here in Huntsville on our campus and in
Decatur, Alabama, at our Aerospace Structures Complex,” said Kim
Doering, Dynetics vice president for space systems.
The operations of DigitalGlobe, SSL (Space Systems Loral) and
Radiant Solutions were unified under the Maxar brand in February;
MDA continues to operate as an independent business unit within the
Maxar organization.
