The company has joined Team ARTEMIS Industry, a collaboration between government and industry formed to fast track the launch of a small satellite constellation and enhance the UK's sovereign space capability.
The team is committed to launching a small satellite demonstrator within a year.

The collaboration between Raytheon and the UK armed forces will deliver new capabilities that directly benefit this important alliance.’
