Terran Orbital Corporation (NYSE: LLAP) has received the certificate of occupancy for the firm’s previously announced, new assembly facility, located in Irvine, California.
The facility spans 94,000 square feet and is situated on a five-acre site. Upon final interior completion of construction and outfitting, it will significantly increase Terran Orbital’s space vehicle assembly, integration, and testing capabilities by over three times the Company’s current capacity.
All of the Company’s space vehicle assembly will be transitioned to this new facility enabling the dedication of Terran Orbital’s existing facilities to the manufacturing of components and modules. This optimization will increase the overall efficiency and capacity of Terran Orbital’s entire production system and further facilitate the Company’s vertical integration efforts.
With the certificate of occupancy secured on the building construction, Terran Orbital will now commence the construction of cleanrooms, targeting occupancy in Q1 2025.
“We are thrilled to be advancing toward the opening of our new facility. It will truly be state-of-the-art, featuring advanced robotics that will boost our capacity and accelerate our production speed, giving us the ability to facilitate existing and new contract awards,” said Marc Bell, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer.
