The company said a growing mission portfolio, an accelerating launch schedule and strong customer demand for its end-to-end “Mission Foundry” model are driving its shift to operational scale across multiple satellite constellations.
Over the past year, Muon has significantly expanded its customer base while scaling its workforce to meet increasing demand. In 2025, the company secured major government contracts supporting missile warning and tracking, as well as dual-use environmental monitoring missions. It also launched new commercial satellites and advanced several operational constellations.
During the same period, Muon more than doubled its employee numbers and recorded more than 100 per cent year-on-year growth for the second year in a row.
Building on that momentum, Muon is now supporting a range of defence and civil customers, with further contract announcements expected later. The company also secured several new commercial awards for 2026, covering missions such as hyperspectral imaging, high-resolution thermal infrared sensing, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) detection and high-quality weather data. Initial announcements are expected soon, with further commercial milestones planned over the coming months.
Together, these programs mark Muon’s transition from bespoke projects to repeatable, constellation-scale deployment.
“Customers are no longer asking for satellites – they’re asking for operational outcomes,” said Muon Space chief executive Jonny Dyer. “They want high-performance missions delivered in months, not years, with tight integration across spacecraft, sensors and operations. That’s what the Mission Foundry delivers.”
At the centre of Muon’s strategy is its Mission Foundry model, which integrates spacecraft platforms, payloads, mission operations and data processing from early simulation through to on-orbit operations.
Rather than assembling satellites as discrete products, Muon designs and deploys complete mission systems, allowing customer constellations to reach orbit faster at lower cost and with higher performance and reliability than traditional approaches.
The model is underpinned by Muon’s Halo technology stack, its M-Class and XL-Class spacecraft platforms, in-house propulsion systems and expertise in advanced sensor design. These capabilities support a wide range of defence, civil and commercial missions, including maritime intelligence, wildfire detection, logistics and agricultural monitoring, without forcing customers into standardised architectures.
Muon is also entering a period of sustained deployment, with a growing launch manifest reflecting rising demand across government and commercial markets.
In 2025, the company completed its third and fourth mission launches, laying the groundwork for a higher operational tempo in 2026 and beyond. Upcoming missions span hyperspectral mapping, radio-frequency sensing, thermal infrared imaging, weather and atmospheric intelligence and other areas where rapid deployment and high performance are critical.
Over the next 20 months, Muon has 20 satellites scheduled for launch, highlighting the company’s shift from isolated missions to a steady, operational cadence across multiple constellations. Many of these contracts were secured in the second half of 2025, underlining the pace at which Muon’s market traction has accelerated.
Near-term launches include missions for customers such as SNC, supporting its next-generation Vindlér 2.0 constellation for radio-frequency collection and analytics. The first three Vindlér satellites are scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2026.
In mid-2026, three FireSats for the Earth Fire Alliance are set to launch, expanding the constellation to reduce revisit times and significantly enhance early wildfire detection and monitoring.
With additional missions already under contract and others well advanced in development, Muon Space expects its launch cadence to continue accelerating as more programs move from demonstration phases into full operational service.
