Once in orbit, our Attitude Control Motor has done its job. As the largest controllable solid rocket motor and the only one rated for human spaceflight, it's designed to provide peace of mind and get astronauts away from danger during a launch, if needed. Here is its view as the Artemis II crew departed for their lunar flyby.

Meeting rising power demands doesn’t have to mean redesigning a spacecraft. Our Next Generation Solar Array delivers 3x the power in an existing platform, while our Modular Deployable Radiator increases total vehicle heat rejection capability, all without added volume. Both systems are scalable and built for the faster deployment needed for modern space systems.

Great to see our Northrop Grumman team Jasmine Sharrock and Dayne Linke supporting Yalari's Careers day, connecting with young Indigenous students and sharing real pathways into STEM and Defence industry futures. The students had a blast working in teams to build paper Tritons, bringing creativity and problem-solving to life. Thanks to Yalari for creating such an inspiring event for the next generation.

Robots in space might sound like the future, but it's happening now 🤖. Our Mission Robotic Vehicle (MRV) is set to become the world's first operational commercial robotic servicing mission in orbit, launching this summer. Using robotic arms, MRV will install our Mission Extension Pods to extend the life of satellites already in space. MRV can relocate, inspect, repair, and upgrade them too! All part of our vision to make in-space servicing routine. #SATShow2026.

Thanks to our solid rocket propulsion, we’re helping NASA National Aeronautics and Space Administration return humanity to the moon and go farther into the solar system than ever before. Sending four astronauts and a spacecraft the size of a 30-story building into space requires unprecedented power. Our rockets are here to serve.

With NASA National Aeronautics and Space Administration announcing the Artemis II launch, the next chapter of human exploration has a blast-off date of April 1. We’re supplying the solid rocket boosters that will take the mission from the ground to orbit and start the journey deeper into space than humanity has ever gone before.
