CONDOR Mk3 final preparations before packaging

Laser communications tech developer Mynaric has now delivered more than 100 of its CONDOR Mk3 optical communications terminals to its customers, including the first complete launch set to a prime customer for Tranche 1 of the Space Development Agency’s (SDA) Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture program, the company announced Thursday.

Mynaric CTO Joachim Horwath also said that the company has made “major progress” in the technical development of its next-generation CONDOR Mk3.1 terminal slated to support the SDA’s Tranche 2 program and other commercial applications. The CONDOR Mk3.1 terminal is being developed with a focus on higher data rates and enhanced efficiency, targeting speeds up to 100 Gbps.

“Our next-generation products, like the CONDOR Mk3.1, are a direct result of ongoing collaboration with industry partners and a deep understanding of evolving mission requirements. By listening closely to customer feedback and anticipating market needs, we’re able to deliver solutions that are not only technically advanced but also operationally relevant,” Tim Deaver, Mynaric’s Vice President of Global Sales & Solutions, said in the update.
