The Pentagon on Tuesday announced about $2.5 billion in contracts will go to L3Harris , Lockheed Martin , and Sierra Space to build satellites for an expanding military system. These satellites will be for the "Tranche 2 Tracking Layer" of the satellite constellation, related to missile defense. Under the awards, each company will build 18 satellites — 16 for missile warnings and tracking, and two with missile defense infrared sensors. The fixed-price contracts are worth $919 million for L3Harris, $890 million for Lockheed Martin, and $740 million for Sierra Space, respectively. PWSA is a constellation designed to have hundreds of satellites in orbit, for greater resiliency and redundancy than previous U.S. military satellites.

CNBC's Investing in Space newsletter offers a view into the business of space exploration and privatization, delivered straight to your inbox. The orders are in and we now finally know how the Space Force's most recent block buy of rocket launches shook out: In the end, the military dished out over $5.6 billion in contracts to SpaceX and ULA for 48 launches. The folks over at Space Force's Space Systems Command shared with me the full breakdown of the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 2 contract awards. In total, Space Force assigned United Launch Alliance (ULA) with 26 missions worth $3.1 billion, while SpaceX got 22 missions worth $2.5 billion. One important thing to keep in mind: This discussion is entirely about ordering launches, not actually launching the rockets themselves.

The Pentagon's Space Development Agency on Monday announced about $1.3 billion in contracts to York Space and Northrop Grumman to build communications satellites. Under the T2TL-Alpha awards, Northrop will build 38 "data transport" satellites for $732 million, while York will build 62 satellites for $617 million. Northrop's award to build Alpha variant satellites for T2TL comes months after the defense giant won an SDA order for Beta variants. In August, Northrop won a $733 million award to build 36 satellites for the T2TL-Beta segment of PWSA, alongside Lockheed Martin . The SDA has previously awarded contracts to build and operate satellites in its fleet to SpaceX and L3Harris, in addition to Northrop, York and Lockheed.

Summary U.S. regulators are ready to review and license the next generation of nuclear reactors while staying committed to safety, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) says. The NRC is under pressure to show it can move fast on a new generation of nuclear technology, including small modular reactors (SMRs) and other previously untested designs, as many in the industry call for deep reforms at the regulator. NuScale’s VOYGR 50-MW SMR power plant became the first SMR design certified by the NRC in January. Earlier this month, the NRC accepted NuScale's uprated VOYGR-6 plant design for a Standard Design Approval (SDA) application. “We are yielding timelier and more cost-effective reviews without compromising on safety,” Taylor says.

CNBC's Investing in Space newsletter offers a view into the business of space exploration and privatization, delivered straight to your inbox. Low Earth orbit satellite constellations are all the rage, but up to this point they've been the prospective domain of commercial entities. SDA is about to launch the second mission of its constellation known as the "Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture," or PWSA. The Transport satellites in Tranche 0 cost about $15 million each, according to Jennifer Elzea, the agency's chief of strategic engagement.

The Pentagon's Space Development Agency on Monday awarded $1.5 billion in contracts to Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman for prototype communications satellites. Lockheed and Northrop will each build 36 of the prototype satellites, scheduled to begin launching by September 2026. Those "Tranche 0" satellites were the first effort to demonstrate the feasibility of SDA's network. In addition to communications, the SDA network aims to provide the U.S. military with features such as missile warning and tracking capabilities. SDA has previously awarded contracts to build and operate satellites in its fleet to York Space, SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and L3Harris .

Tim Smith, Deloitte Consulting's US leader for technology strategy & business transformationWhat digital actions drive the most market value? Digital Strategy adds value: Businesses that are making digital bets in line with enterprise strategy see market value gains, according to Deloitte's Unleashing Digital Transformation value analysis of over 4,500 publicly listed companies. Compared with digital strategy value gains, this action drove double the market value, according to our analysis. "While challenges may be ample across digital initiatives, our research revealed two risks to market value — both relate to digital change capability in unexpected ways." Digital strategy and strategy-aligned tech investments together — without a digital change capability — destroy the most value: Our analysis made it clear that digital change capability is a wild card.

☆ Все больше и больше вишневых плантаций. Сколько фруктов ежегодно выращивают в Молдове и куда экспортируют продукт
▼ + stars: | 2021-01-08 | by ( ) nokta.md time to read: +1 min

С каждым годом в нашей стране появляется все больше плантаций с вишневыми садами, пишет agrobiznes.md. Согласно цитируемому источнику, из примерно 122 тысяч гектаров существующих садов в Молдове 4,1 тысячи гектаров — это плантации черешни, а 3,8 тысячи гектаров — вишневые плантации. Еще одна проблема, мешающая развитию отрасли, заключается в том, что значительная часть предлагаемых на рынке сортов не одобрена в нашей стране, хотя производители требуют этого. В 2020 году объем производства черешни и вишни в Молдове был почти вдвое меньше, чем в 2019 году. Общий объем производства вишни и черешни в 2020 году составил 11 тысяч тонн.
