Developing and manufacturing the Jackal Autonomous Orbital Vehicle, which the Colorado-based company says can operate in all orbits and safely maneuver at close ranges to collect data on any resident space object. Data collection of other satellites and objects includes multi-spectral imagery, full-motion video, and metric observation.

In addition to the Jackal spacecraft, True Anomaly is also developing a mission control system to conduct wargaming, training, simulation for test and tactics development, and operations of on-orbit spacecraft.

True Anomaly is thrilled to announce our On-Orbit Range service and Digital Range application, offering live and digital solutions for:
✔️ Space operator training
✔️ High-fidelity test events
✔️ Threat replication
✔️ Tactics validation

Our first-of-its-kind, combined digital and live approach to space range solutions features rapid deployment capabilities, unprecedented flexibility, and substantial cost savings.

Defense-focused space technology startup True Anomaly has received key permits from regulators that will allow it to demonstrate imaging and rendezvous capabilities on-orbit for the first time.

The 275-kilogram Jackal spacecraft will launch aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-10 rideshare mission, which is currently scheduled to launch no earlier than February 2024. True Anomaly had previously been targeting a ride on Transporter-9, which is launching in October, but CEO Even Rogers told TechCrunch that they decided to move to a slightly later launch date after experiencing some supply chain issues.

True Anomaly selected for $30M Space Systems Command contract in support of VICTUS HAZE Tactically Responsive Space mission, 2024-04-11.

Status Comment / Notes

The first two Jackal spacecraft are flying on SpaceX’s Transporter-10 rideshare mission in 2024.
