Lockheed is spending up to $83 million to move to a 50/50 JV with EOS re this business unit. The JV is currently building a tracking station in WA to complement EOS’s existing site in Canberra. Other sites are also likely to be announce over calendar 2016. These telescopes cost around $20 mill each, hence Lockheed to get to a 50/50 JV needs to build an additional 3, in addition to the WA one they are funding.
The business model EOS/Lockheed are implementing is similar to the existing infrastructure model.
The characteristics include:
Once the tracking facilities are completed, it is estimated that revenue from satellite/insurance operators etc could be very large.
- The provision of an essential service; (as debris orbits change daily, they need to be tracked daily, hence there is an ongoing requirement for the data)
- Significant barriers to entry and a generally dominant market position; (Initial capex is around $150 million, yet access to the IP which only EOS controls, is the biggest hurdle for competition.)
- Long duration assets, with a life of 30+ years;
- Have high upfront costs, but low ongoing operational costs; (The tracking stations are largely automated, hence high margin)
- Long-term, stable cash flows, generally with low volatility compared to other asset classes; (EOS’s main clients will be Government agencies and the large multi national satellite operators and insurance agencies, all requiring ongoing data, via long term contracts.
This Business unit also has a "production and testing facility" for the design and manufacture of the observatory telescope systems being built.
