On May 16, Muon Space, a provider of end-to-end space systems specializing in mission-tailored low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, announced the award of Stage II on its contract with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). Stage II, granted under NRO’s Strategic Commercial Enhancements (SCE) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Framework within the commercial electro-optical (EO) capabilities focus area, will validate on-orbit performance and marks a significant milestone in Muon Space’s infrared capabilities.
The newly awarded contract stage will continue to develop the national security potential of multispectral electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) data with global coverage and rapid revisit rates. Muon’s capabilities support persistent situational awareness of global thermal activity. Stage II will include an end-to-end demonstration of Muon Space’s EO/IR capabilities, and continued testing and evaluation by the NRO.
“This follow-on award signals growing confidence in our ability to deliver timely, high-quality data from space – a core requirement for national security and disaster resilience alike,” said Jonny Dyer, CEO of Muon Space. “We are honored to deepen our collaboration with the NRO and to demonstrate how commercial space can play a transformative role in the future of national intelligence and global response.”
