EL SEGUNDO, Calif., June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Millennium Space Systems, a Boeing Company, delivered two space vehicles for NASA's Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) mission to Vandenberg Space Force Base Friday, marking a key milestone in preparation for launch later this year.Millennium Space Systems, A Boeing Company, delivered the space vehicles for NASA's TRACERS mission to Vandenberg Space Force Base Friday. TRACERS is planned to launch in Summer 2025. "Millennium is incredibly proud of our team and partners at the University of Iowa, Southwest Research Institute, and NASA, for reaching this milestone and getting TRACERS to the launch site," said Richard Prasad, TRACERS program manager, Millennium Space Systems. "Progressing to final integration at launch site showcases the confidence from all parties that both the TRACERS space vehicles and the Millennium Mission Operations Center (MOC) are ready for launch and the start of operations. We're all excited to see TRACERS on-orbit." The TRACERS mission will measure the connection between solar wind and the magnetic field surrounding Earth.

With the completion of rigorous tests, including environmental, mechanical and systems verification, the space vehicles are now prepared to travel through Earth's polar cusp region over the north and south magnetic poles. Ultimately, the mission will enhance our understanding of space weather and its potential impacts on critical technologies such as satellites, communications networks and power grids. "Delivering TRACERS demonstrates how the same approach we use for national security missions can support cutting-edge science," said Tony Gingiss, CEO, Millennium Space Systems. "The ability to deliver high-performance spacecraft is critical, not just for advancing scientific understanding and enabling future space weather forecasting, but also, for strengthening space resilience and readiness in support of national defense objectives." The launch window is set to open in Summer 2025, with specific timing dependent on mission readiness and other logistics.
