Northrop Grumman has broken ground on its new $20 million Maryland Space Assembly and Test facility, which is based on the company’s Baltimore campus that is next to Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
The company said Thursday that officials who attended the opening of the 25,000-square-foot building were Sen. Ben Cardin, Reps. Dutch Ruppersberger and John Sarbanes and Gloria Flach, corporate president and vice president of Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems.
“Northrop Grumman understands that when something is ‘Made in Maryland,’ it is the best in the world. I am proud to join in the groundbreaking for this state-of-the-art space assembly facility that will keep our state at the epicenter of space and technological innovation,” said Cardin.
The M-SAT space assembly, integration and test facility is contained within a three-story high-bay area that will house operations for space programs and payload production.
Construction of the new facility is led by Patriot Contractors LLC.
