Pioneering Technology for Compact, High-Resolution
Imaging
GEOStare SV2 represents a groundbreaking collaboration between
Terran Orbital and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
The space vehicle integrates LLNL's Monolithic Telescope (MonoTele)
technology with Terran Orbital's proven expertise producing
high-reliability space vehicles. Developed through a four-year, $6
million cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA),
this mission demonstrates the power of collaboration in advancing
compact satellites for commercial applications.
"GEOStare SV2’s MonoTele technology is producing exceptional
high-resolution images in a small, cost-effective package," said
Marc Bell, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer at
Terran Orbital. "We are incredibly proud to partner with Lawrence
Livermore to accomplish this feat.”
GEOStare SV2: A Platform for Innovation
Beyond capturing over 60,000 Earth images and 94,000 deep space
images, GEOStare SV2 has served as a valuable testbed for Terran
Orbital. The space vehicle has facilitated critical software
updates, including new capabilities like Resident Space Object
(RSO) tracking capabilities, and advanced ground imaging modes.
This ongoing mission has also fostered collaboration within the
industry, paving the way for future partnerships.
"The data collected by GEOStare SV2 has surpassed our
expectations," said Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Space
Program Leader Benjamin Bahney. "This mission is a testament to the
potential of MonoTele technology and paves the way for a new
generation of high-performance, small satellite imaging
systems."
