On April 13, Deloitte announced that two new satellites, Deloitte-2 and Deloitte-3, launched on March 29, 2026, from Vandenberg Space Force Base to expand Deloitte’s on-orbit footprint. The new satellites carry payloads designed to increase space data collection capacity and help meet clients’ growing needs for space-based data and insights.
Project Constellation enables the engineering and testing of a software-only, on-orbit cyber defense capability designed to be deployed to satellites already in orbit and to improve the cyber resiliency of legacy satellites. Deloitte-1 launched in March 2025 and has traveled more than 150-million miles providing flight heritage for Deloitte’s on-orbit cyber defense capability, Silent Shield.
Government agencies and commercial clients rely on space for daily communications, navigation and monitoring. As that reliance grows, they require fresh data from orbiting satellites that are secure and dependable. Through Project Constellation, Deloitte is expanding space data capacity and engineering mission-specific payloads to deliver on-orbit cyber protections. A key advantage is delivering software-defined cyber defense and analytics upgrades in orbit, helping extend the resilience of existing satellite fleets without waiting for a new launch. This client-first, mission-driven approach aims to meet the growing need for space-based data insights and resilient on-orbit cyber protections, while further strengthening Deloitte’s presence across testing, engineering, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), data and cyber.
“Deloitte-2 and Deloitte-3 go far beyond proving a concept; we’re scaling our space capabilities to help our clients achieve their critical missions. This includes engineering differentiated payloads and the software that brings the data to life, expanding our space sensing and maturing Silent Shield to strengthen cyber resiliency in orbit. The result is more trusted space data and stronger on-orbit protections, so organizations can make faster, mission-focused decisions with even greater confidence,” said Brett Loubert, U.S. Space practice leader, Deloitte.
