RTX has been involved in spaceflight since the global community set its eyes on the final frontier. It was our guidance computers that steered some of the first space capsules, including Apollo 11, and it was our technology that beamed back Neil Armstrong’s famous transmission, “One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

From the ground to orbit and back, RTX space solutions deliver mission breakthroughs that keep our customers ahead of the threat.

Space domain awareness is a vital national capability, ensuring the UK can operate safely, securely and confidently in an increasingly contested space environment. It is central to protecting critical space assets and strengthening resilience across government, defence and industry.

Raytheon UK is a specialist in space domain awareness, orbital analysis, space surveillance and tracking. Building on RTX’s proud legacy of shaping space exploration, Raytheon UK is developing the critical capabilities needed for end-to-end space domain awareness and understanding activities in Earth’s orbit. We are a trusted partner of the UK Space Agency and the UK Ministry of Defence, building sovereign British space capabilities. 

We provide unparalleled expertise in orbital analytics and operations from our NORSSTrack software, LOCI sensor network and diverse space domain awareness portfolio from our base in Northeast England.
