Company Developments - Northrop Grumman faced challenges in establishing a space business, particularly after the U.S. Space Force declined to use its OmegA rocket, leading to its termination [2]. - The Antares rocket program was hindered due to geopolitical issues, as its first stage was built in Ukraine and its engines were sourced from Russia, both of which became unavailable after the 2022 invasion [3][10]. - Northrop Grumman has invested $50 million in Firefly Aerospace to accelerate the development of a new rocket named "Eclipse," which will replace Antares [7]. Rocket Specifications - The Eclipse rocket will feature a 5.4-meter payload fairing and is designed to carry 16 tons to Low Earth Orbit, which is double the capacity of the previous Antares version [7]. - The first launch of the Eclipse rocket is projected for as early as 2026, with launches planned from Wallops Island, Virginia [8].
