THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT
Ambassador comes with Terran Orbital’s standard mini satellite EPS architecture and builds off the entire product line of spacecraft platforms with the same avionics and GNC algorithms. The reaction wheels on the Ambassador have been sized to allow the spacecraft to maintain agility. The platform is designed from the ground up to be compatible with rideshare requirements.
Ambassador supports commercially available or custom payloads and offers optional Type 1 encryption for military-grade security. It includes a propulsion system ideal for phasing a constellation into its mission orbit, station keeping, and disposal. The precursor to the Ambassador (Zuma+) was designed for the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 1 Transport Layer.
Terran Orbital employs top-of-the-line automation and modern manufacturing processes to support the delivery of hundreds of buses annually. From order to launch, in quantities from one to a constellation of one hundred, Terran Orbital accelerates the delivery of mission solutions.
