Integral Systems Congratulates NASA and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory MESSENGER Team on the Probe's Su
April 04 2011 - 8:35AM
Integral Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq:ISYS) today congratulated NASA and
the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) for
successfully inserting the MESSENGER probe into orbit around the
planet Mercury.
"Integral Systems congratulates NASA and APL on the success of
the MESSENGER mission as the MESSENGER probe became the first
spacecraft ever to enter into orbit around the planet Mercury,"
said Paul Casner, CEO of Integral Systems. "MESSENGER has traveled
almost five billion miles, completed 15 orbits of the sun and
traveled at an average speed of 84,500 miles per hour on its way to
Mercury. The recently published pictures of the surface of Mercury
sent from MESSENGER are a testament to the remarkable engineering
accomplishment."
Integral Systems has been an instrumental part of the MESSENGER
program, providing its EPOCH Integrated Product Suite (IPS)
satellite command and control software solution. EPOCH was used
during the Integration and Test (I&T) phase to ensure the
spacecraft's flight readiness and continues to support on-orbit
operations.
Casner continued, "Integral Systems is proud to join NASA and
APL in supporting the MESSENGER program. In conjunction with the
MESSENGER team, we provided a cost-effective, commercial
product-based solution that supports NASA's mission to develop
low-cost, scientifically focused missions."
