Mynaric continues to work through previously announced production delays and has realized near-term improvement in production yields and supply chain-related bottlenecks. Production delays of CONDOR Mk3 were caused by lower than expected production yields and supplier shortages of key components.

“We remain committed to our mission to deliver laser communications products at scale to the market and meet our near-term customer requirements,” said Joachim Horwath, Chief Technology Officer and founder of Mynaric. “Despite the setbacks we faced over the past few months, our team has worked tirelessly to address these challenges. We have implemented solutions to ensure the smooth continuation of our production process.”

“We are happy to report that the technical challenges on the production ramp are being addressed and I am working with Joachim to ensure that Mynaric is well positioned for future success,” said Andreas Reif, Chief Restructuring Officer of Mynaric. “Moving forward, Mynaric will continue to meet the current requirements of our customers.”

Current shipments of the CONDOR Mk3 free space optical communications system will be part of the United States Space Development Agency (SDA) Tranche 1 program. Mynaric was selected by Northrop Grumman as the sole supplier of optical communications terminals for the SDA’s Tranche 1 Transport and Tracking Layer programs and by York Space Systems for the SDA’s Tranche 1 Transport Layer. Mynaric was also selected by Loft Federal to supply the CONDOR Mk3 terminals to NExT – the SDA’s Experimental Testbed.
