Lanteris Space Systems, a subsidiary of Intuitive Machines, was selected by L3Harris to design, build and deliver 18 advanced spacecraft platforms for the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 3 Tracking Layer, marking a key contract in the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture program.

The Tranche 3 layer’s platforms will integrate high-performance sensors and on-orbit processing systems to enable persistent, real-time tracking of hypersonic and ballistic missile threats, improving global coverage and responsiveness for defense and allied operators.

This award leverages Intuitive Machines’ track record of over 300 spacecraft built and 260 kilograms of lunar payload delivered, and is expected to drive material growth in its national security segment and underscore its scalable space infrastructure services.
