Demand for satellites continues to grow, and manufacturers are looking for ways to build spacecraft faster without affecting performance. One way to do that is to involve manufacturing companies earlier in the design process.
Fortastra, a California company developing spacecraft for national security and commercial missions, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with advanced manufacturing company Hadrian to explore how additive manufacturing (AM), precision machining, and other production technologies can be integrated into future satellite programs.
Rather than serving only as a supplier, Hadrian will work along with Fortastra’s engineering teams during spacecraft development. The companies say the collaboration will focus on improving manufacturability, shortening production
