Posted: Sat, Oct 26, 2024, 8:04 AM ET (1204 GMT)
The US Space Force awarded Northrop Grumman a $1.8 billion contract extension to begin production of two advanced early-warning satellites. These satellites are part of the military's Next-Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) program, a defense initiative aimed at enhancing missile threat detection from space. This latest contract modification, announced Oct. 23, brings Northrop Grumman's total value for the project to $4.1 billion, following a $2.3 billion contract awarded in 2020 to develop the two satellites. The first of the two satellites is scheduled for launch in 2028.
