U.S. Space Force (USSF) has awarded Orion Space Solutions, an expert in fundamental physics research, sensor design satellite systems, project management, and technology development, a contract to develop three spacecraft in support of USSF\u2019s mission to advance and launch new technologies in space.<\/p>\n
Working with partners Hera Systems, Booz Allen Hamilton, and SCOUT Space, Orion Space Solutions (OSS) brings together a diversified, highly capable team to build and deploy new satellites to geostationary orbit (GEO). Satellites in GEO orbits fly at a height where the satellite\u2019s orbital period equals the Earth\u2019s rotational speed. This allows a satellite to \u201csit\u201d in space, viewing a single location on the Earth over time.<\/p>\n
The OSS team offers deep experience in building mission-specific systems, including spacecraft and payload design, assembly, integration, and testing capabilities, as well as mission operations and ground support. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe OSS team looks forward to supporting USSF,\u201d says <\/strong>Chad Fish, the project\u2019s principal investigator and COO of Orion Space Solutions. \u201cThe team, comprised largely of small, non-traditional aerospace businesses, demonstrates the depth of skill, as well as agility and innovation that small business delivers to U.S. government programs and more broadly within the aerospace industry.\u201d<\/p>\n The OSS Team\u2019s small satellites for this mission, about the size of two carry-on bags, offer the USSF a \u201cNew Space\u201d agile, lower-cost access to space mission solution. End to end, USSF anticipates a 5-year development and mission for the program in support of its Tetra-5 Space Vision program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" U.S. Space Force (USSF) has awarded Orion Space Solutions, an expert in fundamental physics research, sensor design satellite systems, project management, and technology development, a contract to develop three spacecraft in support of USSF\u2019s mission to advance and launch new technologies in space.
