SXM-10, a high-powered digital audio radio satellite, will be built on Maxar's proven 1300-class platform at the company's manufacturing facility in Palo Alto, California.
Maxar has been building satellites for SiriusXM for more than two decades, including the first-generation Sirius satellites launched in 2000, the second-generation Sirius satellites launched in 2009 and 2013, and the company's third-generation satellites, the last one of which was launched earlier this year.
"Maxar has been manufacturing communications satellites for SiriusXM for decades, and we're proud to continue this relationship for both SXM-9 and SXM-10," said Chris Johnson, Maxar's Senior Vice President of Space Programs Delivery.
