Terran Orbital Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO Marc Bell announced, “We are thrilled to bring Terran Orbital forward as a public company. This day marks the latest milestone in a history of achievement and outperformance in the space industry. We expect that as we advance, Terran Orbital will continue to define the small satellite market by combining high-volume manufacturing with fully integrated operations and mission planning capabilities. We are also planning to build one of the world’s largest, most advanced persistent earth observation constellations and one of the world’s largest vertically integrated satellite manufacturing facilities.”

Bell continued: “Our innovative, cost-effective satellite solutions and real-time data offering are validated by our suite of marquee military, commercial and civil customers; an experienced, solutions-focused management team featuring former senior leaders in the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Army. As a public company, we expect to leverage our industry position to capitalize on the exponentially rising demand for small satellites and earth observation data to meet critical government, national security and commercial needs, support human space exploration, and deliver long-term value to our partners and investors.”

In order to meet this growing demand, in February 2022 the Company announced its plans to significantly expand its manufacturing capability in Irvine, CA, by leasing a 60,000 square-foot commercial facility adjacent to the Company’s existing facility. The announcement marked Terran Orbital’s commitment to maintaining its leadership as a top small satellite manufacturer in the country and will complement the Company’s previously announced plans to build the world’s largest and most advanced “Industry 4.0” space vehicle manufacturing facility, a $300 million, 660,000 square foot facility on the Space Coast of Florida.
