Dynetics’ Human Landing System will be designed to deliver two
astronauts from lunar orbit to the lunar surface and back,
including surface habitation for about a week. As part of the
Dynetics team, Maxar will deliver a broad range of services and
hardware solutions that will enable power, control, communications,
robotic manipulation and thermal optimization for the Human Landing
System. Maxar will also provide engineering and mission operations
support.
Maxar’s role on Dynetics’ Human Landing System team expands the
company’s significant contributions to NASA’s Artemis program.
Maxar is developing the Power and Propulsion Element for the lunar
Gateway that will enable a sustainable human deep-space presence in
collaboration with international partners. And the company is
building a robotic arm called SAMPLR for Masten Space Systems’ XL-1
unmanned lunar lander that will deliver nine technology
demonstration experiments to the lunar south pole in 2022.
“Maxar is tremendously proud to contribute to these critical
pieces of NASA’s Artemis program,” said Megan Fitzgerald, Maxar’s
Senior Vice President and General Manager of Space Infrastructure.
“By partnering with U.S. industry and leveraging innovative,
flight-proven commercial technologies, NASA is accelerating this
new era of American leadership in space.”
"Dynetics is excited to lead this expert team of subcontractors
that will return Americans to the lunar surface," said Kim Doering,
Vice President of Space Systems at Dynetics. "This team has a
proven history of technical excellence, and their contributions
will greatly benefit the future of space exploration."
