Northrop Grumman has won a $732 million contract for 38 Space Development Agency (SDA) satellites. The contract, announced Monday, will be for part of SDA's mesh network known as Transport Layer Tranche 2 Alpha that will have a total of 100 satellites. SDA selected York Space Systems earlier this month to build the other 62 spacecraft. The Alpha satellites are projected to launch in late 2026.
