The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory awarded Maxar Mission Solutions Inc. a $1.999M cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract on August 6, 2018, for the development and delivery of the AGILE Small Satellite Experimental Telescope. The contract, which was not subject to any small business set-aside, has an ultimate completion date of August 3, 2021, with primary performance conducted in Ypsilanti, Michigan. This award followed a pre-solicitation opportunity posted in November 2017, indicating the government's interest in innovative satellite-based sensing technologies for research and development purposes.
Under this contract, Maxar Mission Solutions subcontracted with Poco Graphite, Inc.'s Specialty Materials Division in January 2020 to develop and manufacture the physical components for a Three-Mirror Anastigmatic (TMA) telescope and the finished telescope assembly. Poco Graphite specializes in advanced materials including carbon, graphite, silicon carbide, and composite materials for high-technology applications, making the company well-suited for optical component manufacturing. The AGILE program represents part of the Air Force Research Laboratory's broader portfolio of advanced technology development initiatives, leveraging Maxar's expertise in sensor development and geospatial intelligence systems alongside specialized supplier capabilities in precision optics manufacturing.
