ARQUIMEA selected by Lanteris to supply the structure for 18 satellites in the SDA’s Tranche 3 Tracking Layer constellation

March 23, 2026
  • The company will participate for the first time in Lanteris’ 300™ platform, expanding its footprint in high-rate LEO programs for the U.S. market.

Washington, 23 de marzo de 2026. – ARQUIMEA, a global technology company, strengthens its presence in the U.S. space market after being selected by Lanteris Space Systems, an Intuitive Machines company, to support the development and manufacturing of 18 satellites for the Tranche 3 Tracking Layer constellation, part of the Space Development Agency’s (SDA) Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture Program.

The program falls under the contract awarded to L3Harris Technologies for the delivery of 18 satellites that will contribute to the next generation of space-based detection and tracking capabilities for advanced threats, including hypersonic and ballistic systems.

Under this initiative, ARQUIMEA will manufacture the satellite structures, a critical component within each platform’s architecture. The work will be carried out on Lanteris’ 300 model, a low Earth orbit (LEO) bus designed for high-cadence missions and recurring production. This marks ARQUIMEA’s first collaboration on this specific platform and further strengthens its position as a structural supplier for LEO spacecraft.

The participation in this program consolidates ARQUIMEA’s role as a global provider of structural and thermal hardware for satellites and space vehicles across LEO, MEO and GEO orbits, expanding its footprint in U.S. defense space programs.

The Tranche 3 Tracking Layer will enhance advanced sensing and on-orbit data processing capabilities, contributing to a more resilient space architecture with broader global coverage for defense and allied users.

With this new contract, ARQUIMEA continues to strengthen its presence in constellation programs and reaffirms its commitment to delivering highly reliable and scalable space solutions.
