The initiative called tactically responsive space aims to procure space capabilities from private industry on unprecedented timelines, leading to record-breaking missions like Firefly Space's Alpha rocket launching 27 hours post-receiving the notice.
Gravitics' contract focuses on developing platforms for tactically responsive space missions rather than putting modules on rockets, offering an unconventional solution recognized as potentially game-changing by Space Safari's program office.
Space Systems Command's Lt Col Jason Altenhofen emphasized the importance of using commercial technologies to solve challenges, highlighting Gravitics' module as an innovative concept for TacRS.
Gravitics, alongside partners like Rocket Lab and True Anomaly, will refine mission architecture, develop outfitting, and flight hardware to enhance the capabilities for tactically responsive space missions.
