Terran Orbital was founded in 2013 by Marc Bell and Anthony Previte with headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida. The company's heritage includes the 1999 development of the CubeSat Standard by Dr. Jordi Puig-Suari and Bob Twiggs, and the 2011 co-founding of Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems by Dr. Puig-Suari. Terran Orbital acquired Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems. In 2015 it launched the first commercial Intelligence Community CubeSat constellation with build-to-launch times of less than five months. In 2016 it enabled the first National Reconnaissance Office small satellites to launch on commercial rideshare. In 2017 it developed and launched the first nano-satellite capable of controlled orbit change (PACSCISAT) and the first nano-satellite capable of rendezvous on-orbit (NANOACE). In 2018 it developed and launched a nano-satellite with a novel telescope to track objects on Earth and in space for a U.S. Government research laboratory (GeoStare), provided launch integration services and hardware for the first ever small satellites sent to Mars, and developed and launched the first ever nano-satellite radar mission for NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (RainCube).
