The company Muon Space, a company that is transforming the way Earth is monitored from space, has been awarded a contract by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to provide commercial electro-optical (EO) capabilities for assessment and potential contribution to the NRO mission. Muon Space is a LEO satellite constellation company revolutionizing the way Earth is monitored from space.. Under the Strategic Commercial Enhancements (SCE), Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Framework, commercial electro-optical capabilities is a focus area of the NRO Strategic Commercial Enhancements (SCE) program.

For NRO assessment, Muon Space is going to provide multispectral electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) data collected by its climate monitoring constellation. A full constellation, which will be deployed at regular intervals, is designed to provide global coverage with rapid revisits to gain a comprehensive understanding of global thermal activity over time.
This year, Muon Space will provide the NRO with multispectral electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) data collected by the company's climate monitoring constellation. A full constellation is planned to be deployed at regular intervals, to provide global coverage with rapid revisits for a persistent understanding of global thermal activity. This constellation will be deployed at regular intervals.
Our team is thrilled to be a part of the NRO's evaluation of emerging commercial EO providers and is eager to explore the possibility of using our data to assist in climate and national security missions at the same time. "I am deeply committed to both of these missions and look forward to developing a lasting partnership with the NRO." said Jonny Dyer, CEO of Muon Space.
As of June 2023, Muon Space has developed and built a satellite platform optimized for remote sensing payloads within just two years of its formation and has successfully launched its first satellite MuSat-1 into orbit. A contract was awarded to Muon Space by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's (AFLMC)'s Weather Systems Branch and by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to evaluate GNSS-R ocean wind speed products, soil moisture products, and ionospheric data on their MuSat-2 satellite mission.. Moreover, Muon Space has been awarded a contract from Hydrosat to develop a Constellation-as-a-Service (CaaS) spacecraft that will integrate Hydrosat's imaging instruments into its spacecraft

A member of Muon Space's board of directors and former Acting Deputy Secretary of Defense, Christine Fox, stated that she was excited to see Muon Space take this next step in applying their capabilities to solving problems of national security.. As a member of the National Research Organization (NRO), I am encouraged by the continued push to integrate emerging commercial capabilities at the speed and scale that is needed to address critical National Security issues. Using Muon Space's capabilities, the NRO will be able to gain valuable insight and understanding within a non-classified environment, which can be easily shared with global partners at an unclassified level

It was founded in 2021, Muon Space is embarking on a new generation of small satellites and sensors to monitor Earth's climate and ecosystems in a way that has never been possible before.  From concept formulation all the way through to launch and scaling operations, Muon's vertically integrated simulation, hardware, and software stack speeds up the time-to-market for its customers.  It has a state-of-the-art facility located in Silicon Valley that is optimized for manufacturing spacecraft and fast, flexible payload integration at scale from Muon Space's state-of-the-art facility. The SmallSat constellation platform for delivering new technologies to space was launched regularly in June 2023, providing data sets that address important geophysical and environmental applications through one of the most scalable constellation platforms for delivering smallsats into LEO
