Lockheed Martin’s first modernised SBIRS Missile Warning Satellite

Issue: 06-2021

Following a successful launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on May 18, 2021, the US Space Force’s Space Delta 4 operations team is now “talking” with the fifth Space Based Infrared System Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (SBIRS GEO-5) satellite. SBIRS GEO-5-built by Lockheed Martinis responding to the Delta’s commands. Signal acquisition was confirmed approximately ~36 minutes after the satellite’s 1:37 p.m. EDT launch aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket. Now separated from the rocket, the satellite is continuing on to orbit under its own propulsion. SBIRS GEO-5 is the latest satellite to join the Space Force’s orbiting Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) missile warning constellation equipped with powerful scanning and staring surveillance sensors who provide ‘faster and more resilient missile warning.
