Threats of today require novel CONOPS to ensure space superiority into the future. Our Ascent™ spacecraft is a highly configurable platform addressing threats in MEO, GEO and beyond.
For over seven decades, BAE Systems has perfected the art of building spacecraft, delivering adaptable and affordable solutions that meet the unique needs of each mission. Our Elevation™ line provides a range of standardized, high-performing spacecraft products. Specifically, our Ascent™ spacecraft is designed to support the needs of space superiority, with capabilities such as refuellability, high thrust propulsion, dynamic space operations and rideshare payloads. The rideshare payload capability allows for the efficient deployment of multiple smaller satellites or payloads on a single launch vehicle, enhancing flexibility and mission effectiveness. These features enable sustained maneuver, orbit raising and mobility, logistics, and exploration missions to Medium Earth Orbit, Geostationary Orbit, and beyond. With our commitment to staying at the forefront of technology, we’re poised to deliver the first spacecraft to support space superiority, on contract with delivery in 2027.
