Posted: Sat, Oct 26, 2024, 8:03 AM ET (1203 GMT)
Millennium Space Systems won a $386 million Space Force contract for six missile-warning satellites that will operate in medium Earth orbit (MEO). The contract follows a $509 million award in December for an identical set of six satellites. The 12 "Epoch 1" satellites Millennium, a Boeing subsidiary, is building will operate in MEO and carry specialized sensors for tracking both traditional ballistic missiles and newer hypersonic weapons. The Space Force plans to award contracts next year for the next batch of MEO missile-tracking satellites known as Epoch 2.
