Company to Showcase Launch, Space and
Satellite System Products
Orbital ATK (NYSE: OA), a global leader in aerospace and defense
technologies, will display its wide range of launch, propulsion,
satellite, space and logistics technologies during the 33rd Space
Symposium. The symposium is being held April 3-6, 2017, at The
Broadmoor, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Orbital ATK’s display is
located at Booth 715.
The Orbital ATK booth will showcase the company’s Antares,
Minotaur and Pegasus vehicles, as well as a new family of
intermediate- and large-class space launch vehicles capable of
launching national security payloads and large science and
commercial satellites. The booth will also include information on
the five-segment solid rocket boosters used on NASA’s Space Launch
System and the company’s commercially available solid rocket
motors. Each year, Orbital ATK carries out dozens of space-related
missions and has provided more than 16,000 U.S.-built solid rocket
motors and integrated stages for government and commercial
customers.
Specific satellite systems on display include Orbital ATK’s
GEOStar-2 and GEOStar-3 geostationary Earth-orbit (GEO)
communications satellite platforms as well as the company’s
medium-, small- and microsatellite-class systems primarily used in
low-Earth orbit (LEO). Also featured will be small national
security satellite systems such as GEOStar-1, and RapidStar-2.
This year, Orbital ATK will highlight progress that has been
made with the company’s innovative satellite servicing technology,
the Mission Extension Vehicle (MEV). The company has signed a
contract to deliver in-orbit satellite life-extension service to an
Intelsat satellite and will launch MEV-1 as a co-hosted passenger
with Eutelsat 5WB in 2018. Additionally, Orbital ATK has relocated
its state-of-the-art rendezvous, proximity operations and docking
lab to its Dulles, Virginia, campus where MEV-1 will be built.
The Orbital ATK booth will also include a special profile on the
company’s ESPAStar-1 spacecraft, which offers delivery of small
satellites to LEO or GEO orbit. In addition, the booth will feature
the company’s enhanced Cygnus™ spacecraft, which will soon be
launched on its next mission. It will carry crew supplies,
equipment and scientific experiments to the International Space
Station.
Also on display are products that showcase Orbital ATK as a
leading supplier of spacecraft components on domestic and
international platforms. Those products include bus structures,
antenna reflectors, solar array systems, space thermal hardware,
deployables and propulsion tanks.
Visitors to the Orbital ATK exhibit will have the opportunity to
learn more about all of the company’s advanced, flight-proven
product lines through videos, fact sheets and product models.
Additionally, Orbital ATK subject matter experts will be available
to answer questions and provide additional information.
