GomSpace North America has announced the next milestone of a long-term partnership with SAIC, the $7 billion Federal contractor headquartered in Reston, Virginia. The companies announced a strategic partnership in 2023, and now SAIC has purchased a satellite kit from GomSpace which SAIC will integrate into a specialized satellite at their space development center. GomSpace engineers and scientists will work with SAIC personnel. GomSpace has produced robust and reliable satellites and components for over 15 years.
“This is the next critical step in creating satellites in the U.S. with SAIC, our system integrator and AIT (Assembly, Integration, and Testing) partner,” said Frank Tobin, President and CEO of GomSpace North America. “Together, we are rapidly laying the foundation for the mass production of constellations of satellites in the near future.”
“The space domain offers so many opportunities for SAIC to pursue and deliver on innovative solutions across commercial and defense markets, from single satellites to constellations,” stated Peter Weilbach, senior director for space systems integration, Space and Intelligence Business Group. “This partnership with GomSpace combines the talents of our two companies and allows us to do what we do best—integrate.”
GomSpace components are now being delivered to SAIC, and integration is scheduled to begin in early Q2 of this calendar year.
