Sierra Space Completes First Nine Satellite Structures for the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 2 Tracking Layer, Three Months Ahead of Schedule
Milestone accelerates progress toward delivering advanced missile tracking capabilities for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture.
LOUISVILLE, Colo. – January 6, 2026 – Sierra Space, a proven defense-tech company delivering solutions for the nation’s most critical missions and advancing the future of security in space, announced today the completion of the first nine satellite structures, Plane 1 of the 18 total satellites Sierra Space is contracted to deliver for the Space Development Agency’s (SDA) Tranche 2 Tracking Layer (T2TRK) program. Achieved three months ahead of schedule, this milestone underscores Sierra Space’s ability to meet key program milestones with efficiency and precision, helping to ensure that the T2TRK program remains on track for delivery and launch readiness.
“We stood up our high-rate manufacturing facility, Victory Works, to meet the demanding requirements of our customer,” said Erik Daehler, Senior Vice President of Sierra Space Defense. “To go from a successful Critical Design Review to completing the Plane 1 satellite structures—three months ahead of schedule—is a powerful validation of our investment in scalable infrastructure. Our team is energized as we move into the next phase of Plane 1 development, focusing on assembly, integration, and testing, while also beginning the satellite structure build for Plane 2, the remaining nine satellites of the 18-satellite constellation for SDA.”

Should Tesla Investors Be Worried? NVIDIA vs Tesla
Despite NVIDIA’s advancements in self-driving technology, Tesla’s current lead in autonomous driving, production, and cost advantages are likely to keep it ahead of competitors, including NVIDIA, in the short term Questions to inspire discussion.
Platform Architecture & Business Model 🔧 Q: What type of product is Nvidia’s AI Pameo platform? A: Nvidia’s AI Pameo is a hardware and software toolset for OEMs requiring millions in non-recurring engineering fees and 70% gross margins on chips per vehicle, not a complete consumer solution like Tesla’s FSD. 🏭 Q: What does OEM implementation of Nvidia’s platform require? A: OEMs must have in-house AI talent to integrate, customize, certify, and handle warranty and liability for their specific vehicle models, as Nvidia provides the stack but not per-model engineering. 💰 Q: How does Tesla’s chip economics compare to Nvidia’s approach?

Cost Optimization Strategy 🚗 Q: How can I minimize transportation costs using Tesla’s pricing tiers? A: Tesla’s AI-controlled pricing offers three tiers: $1 per mile for occasional trips, $60 per day for daily rentals, and $600 per month for leasing, with real-time switching between options based on your usage patterns to optimize costs. 💰 Q: How does AI-generated pricing adapt to my changing transportation needs? A: The system enables seamless switching between $1 per mile and $60 per day options similar to phone plans, with real-time adjustments that automatically select the most cost-effective tier based on current usage.
Direct 3D printing of nanolasers can boost optical computing and quantum security
In future high-tech industries, such as high-speed optical computing for massive AI, quantum cryptographic communication, and ultra-high-resolution augmented reality (AR) displays, nanolasers—which process information using light—are gaining significant attention as core components for next-generation semiconductors.
A research team has proposed a new manufacturing technology capable of high-density placement of nanolasers on semiconductor chips, which process information in spaces thinner than a human hair.
A joint research team led by Professor Ji Tae Kim from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Professor Junsuk Rho from POSTECH, has developed an ultra-fine 3D printing technology capable of creating “vertical nanolasers,” a key component for ultra-high-density optical integrated circuits.
