Ibadan, 25 October 2024. – Muon Space has announced its selection by the Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Hybrid Acquisition for Proliferated Low-Earth Orbit (HALO) program. This selection recognizes Muon Space’s satellite technology stack and innovative mission approach, positioning the Company to compete for future prototype orders under this initiative.
SDA’s HALO program aims to rapidly and affordably demonstrate new mission capabilities and technology for future deployment on operational tranches within the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture LEO. As a result, Muon Space’s end-to-end Halo platform, encompassing its satellites, advanced payload technology, and integrated ground and operations segment, intends to meet the SDA’s high standards for schedule and execution confidence.
Furthermore, the HALO program aims to enable the rapid development, launch, and testing of new and emerging technologies in orbit, including advancements in payload, processing, communications, and spacecraft innovations. This initiative consequently plays a critical role in demonstrating technologies that enjoy swift integration into future operational systems, supporting the evolving warfighter’s needs including low latency delivery of mission-critical data and missile warning, tracking and defense.
Commenting on Muon Space’s selection for the HALO program, Jonny Dyer, CEO of Muon Space, remarked, “Our holistic focus on the mission and our end-to-end platform intend to fulfil the most challenging requirements and we look forward to delivering high-speed, high-performance, and cost-effective solutions to the warfighter.”
The CEO also added, “Our selection for the HALO program reflects Muon’s unique capabilities and readiness to deliver innovative space systems that meet the nation’s defense infrastructure needs. We are excited to collaborate with SDA and demonstrate the rapid adaptability of our systems in support of future operational tranches.”
