Lyntris selected by SES to deliver resilient, GEO satellite payloads for U.S. Space Force's PTS-G program.

Lyntris selected by SES to deliver resilient, GEO satellite payloads for U.S. Space Force's PTS-G program. Oct 13, 2026, 08:00 ET * Lyntris' precision RF and pointing technology, built on decades of GEO heritage, anchors a resilient, jam-resistant communications network that keeps warfighters connected in contested environments. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Lyntris, a defense technology company delivering integrated sensing, communications, and mission systems, today announced it has been selected by Intelsat General Communications, LLC, a SES Space & Defense company, to serve as prime payload integrator in support of the U.S. Space Force's Protected Tactical Satellite Communications-Global (PTS-G) program. PTS-G is a U.S. Space Force program to build a constellation of small satellites in geostationary orbit. Using the Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW), this fleet will give warfighters a communications link that is more resilient. The constellation will augment legacy tactical SATCOM satellites with a distributed and proliferated network that can absorb the loss of any single spacecraft. Space Systems Command has structured the effort as a multiple-award IDIQ contract with a ceiling of $4 billion. As prime payload integrator, Lyntris will provide the RF payload architecture, precision pointing systems, and antenna technologies that form the foundation of the PTS-G's protected communications capability. Intelsat General Communications, LLC. serves as the prime contractor for the effort. Lyntris brings more than 30 years of experience delivering complex antenna and RF systems for military missions across all orbits. Its proven GEO heritage - earned where performance and resilience requirements are at their most demanding - substantially reduces technical risk, and Lyntris' integrated design-build-test capability allows it to meet the accelerated development timelines demanded by this crucial program. The company's payload integration and test facilities also reduce supply chain risk, consolidating work that might otherwise span multiple vendors under one roof. Combined, these factors are why Intelsat General Communications, LLC. selected Lyntris as prime payload integrator for a program that demands speed and commercial readiness without compromising performance. "Being selected as the payload integrator for PTS-G is validation of the mission critical RF and resilient pointing capability our team has built over decades - and the proprietary IP that lets us move from design to flight at the speed this mission demands," said Brian Morrison, CEO at Lyntris. "This is exactly the kind of mission-critical work Lyntris was built to deliver, and I couldn't be more proud of the team." "PTS-G demands performance with zero margin for error in GEO, and that's exactly where our team excels," said Richie Dart, General Manager of C5ISR at Lyntris. "This award reflects years of engineering discipline behind every multiband and resilient RF system we've fielded, and we're ready to deliver that same rigor for the Space Force." "PTS-G represents the next generation of protected tactical satellite communications, and our team is committed to delivering the advanced payload technologies this mission demands," said David Broadbent, President and CEO of SES Space & Defense. "Lyntris's resilient payload architecture design, combined with their integrated antenna and motion systems are central to our ability to compete for this role, and this award builds on our long history of delivering secure, resilient space capabilities to the U.S. government." Lyntris will integrate and test the full PTS-G Payload at their integration facility in Longmont, Colorado. The PTS-G program is managed by Space Systems Command (SSC) at Los Angeles Air Force Base, California, with initial operational capability targeted for fiscal year 2029. About Lyntris Lyntris is a defense technology company that provides sense-to-act connectivity solutions for the modern battlespace. Combining differentiated hardware, software and mission expertise, Lyntris helps customers sense threats, make sense of complex conditions and act with greater speed, precision and confidence in contested environments.

What's the Deal With the Intelsat Building in DC?

What's the Deal With the Intelsat Building in DC? The massive empty space has a cool history. Over the past 40 years, the space-age Intelsat building has been an object of local fascination, housing a satellite company, a television station, an embassy, and a school, among other things. Now the massive Connecticut Avenue landmark's next phase is uncertain. Here's a look at its unusual history. * 1964 Eleven countries sign a treaty to form a consortium now known as the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization, or Intelsat. It will grow to include more than 100 member countries and become the world's largest commercial satellite-services provider, owning and operating more than 50 satellites. * 1980 Intelsat announces the firm of Australian architect John Andrews as the winner of a juried competition to design an energy-efficient headquarters with significant views and natural light. * 1984 The organization moves into the partially completed Intelsat headquarters, located on land owned by the State Department near the Van Ness Metro. The wow-inducing 660,000-square-foot structure is composed of 13 octagonal office pods covered in glass and aluminum, connected by six atria. * 1988 Local television station WJLA moves into 73,000 square feet of the building, remaining there for 14 years. * 2001 Intelsat privatizes and becomes the largest tech company in the DC area, with 900 employees. * 2012 Intelsat sells its building to the 601W Companies, a real-estate firm, then relocates to McLean two years later. The 601W Companies prepares the space for commercial leasing while the underlying 12-acre site remains owned by the State Department. Notable later tenants include the Embassy of Cameroon and the Broadcasters' Child Development Center. * 2019 Whittle School & Studios, a controversial for-profit private school, opens in the Intelsat building, with interior renovations overseen by starchitect Renzo Piano. The much-hyped concept doesn't fly, and the school closes in 2022. * 2019 The building is designated a historic landmark in the DC Inventory of Historic Sites because of its unique architecture and pioneering, energy-efficient design. But finding tenants for such a quirky space proves difficult, and it mostly sits empty for years. * 2026 A foreclosure auction had been set for the building in April-but was canceled at the last minute. What will come next? That's unclear: Finding a viable use for the building remains a challenge. Join the conversation! Editorial Fellow Dara T.
