1922: Raytheon founded.

Timeline of Raytheon in Space

1969: Apollo 11 lands on the moon with the aid of Raytheon navigation and signal transmission capabilities.

1954: 56 CPS-9 weather radars installed for U.S. Air Force installations in the US and overseas. CPS-9 was the first radar used by meteorologists as a weather observing and short-range forecasting tool.

1957: 56 WSR-57 weather radars installed for National Weather Service offices spread out over 200 miles apart. WSR 57s ushered in a new generation of modern weather forecasting.

1973: Raytheon’s Dr. Ivan Getting credited with the development of the Global Positioning System for the U.S. Air Force.

1989: The Photopolarimeter-Radiometer begins its journey to Saturn aboard the Galileo spacecraft.

1998: Main mission antennas for the constellation of 66 Iridium communications satellites orbiting the globe provided.

1999: Raytheon-developed Earth Observing System Data and Information System goes online at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

2001: Aboard the Mars 2001 Orbiter, Thermal Emission Imaging System sensor looks for suitable landing spots for future Mars missions.

2002: The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency launches its Multifunctional Transport Satellite carrying Japanese Advanced Meteorological Imager (JAMI).

2003 and 2005: Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometers survey the red planet from the Mars Exploration Rovers (Spirit & Opportunity).

2009: High-resolution radar imagery from Miniaturized RF sensor aboard NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and India's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft uncovers evidence of water ice on the moon.

2011: First Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) launched.

2012: NASA releases “2012 Blue Marble” the highest definition image of Earth obtained from Raytheon’s VIIRS sensor; later that year, the Black Marble “Earth at Night” image is released.

2013: Constellation Scheduling System goes live, plans and schedules DigitalGlobe Inc.’s commercial satellite imaging constellation.

2015: Rollout of the nation's next-generation weather data system to 140+ NWS offices completed. The Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS II) offers visualization capabilities and advanced data analysis used to create weather maps and models.

2015: Awarded contract to manage and operate U.S. Air Force space launch ranges.

2018: The Skyler Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) radar is fielded. Skyler is capable of detecting weather, aircraft, and UAS without a rotating antenna.

2016: Raytheon assumes the operations sustainment for the Cheyenne Mountain Complex under the Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment contract.

2017: Next-generation Joint Polar Satellite System Common Ground System (JPSS CGS) is fully operational, processing over 10+ TB of data/day. It supports 11 polar-orbiting satellites and delivers observations to NOAA's National Weather Service ~50% faster than before.

1982: Enhanced Thematic Mapper launches aboard Landsat 4. Raytheon sensors played a key role on Landsat missions 1 through 6.

1988: 47 Terminal Doppler Weather Radars (TDWR) installed for the FAA. TDWR helps improve safety at major airports by detecting wind shear conditions that pose a major hazard to airplane safety.
