Magellan Aerospace Signs Agreement With Peraton to Support NASA Sounding Rocket Program

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Magellan Aerospace Corporation (“Magellan”) announced today that it would provide Black Brant vehicles and hardware to Peraton in support of the NASA Sounding Rocket Program. Under the terms of the five-year agreement Magellan will supply NASA’s annual requirements and could generate revenues up to a maximum of $75 million.

In 2023, Peraton won a competitive award to support the NASA Sounding Rocket Operations Contract IV (NSROC IV) over a five-year period of performance. Magellan is excited to embark on this contract with Peraton and solidify this new business relationship.

Magellan has been designing and manufacturing a family of Black Brant sounding rockets since 1962, playing a leading role in suborbital scientific exploration. The Black Brant is the most reliable, cost-effective and available multi-stage solid propellant rocket in use today with a success rate of 99.4% over the last 500 launches. The annual missions flown for NASA’s program provide researchers with unparalleled opportunities to fly missions that support their strategic vision.
