Terran Orbital is building the worlds largest satellite manufacturing facility here on the Florida Space Coast! The company announced it chose the Space Coast because of the amazing "ready to work" talent that will allow the company to ramp up quickly. The 660,000 square foot factory will be capable of producing “thousands of different types of space vehicles per year,” including 1000 complete satellites and over 1 million satellite components per year, the company said in a statement.
The new facility will create about 2100 new jobs with the facility anchored in Merritt Island near the Kennedy Space Center. Below is a rendering of the facility plans:
This is another incredible coup for our great Governor Ron DeSantis! Terran Orbital will be investing over 300 million dollars into facility build out. The estimated annual salary of the 2100 jobs is about $85,000 per the Space Coast EDC.
For the longest time, the Space Coast was a place to shoot off rockets, today with the Blue Origin manufacturing facility, Embraer, and now Terran Orbital, the Space Coast is also turning into a manufacturing hub!
