Sierra Nevada Corporation Completes And Delivers Satellites For Orbcomm Mission 1 Launch
Sierra Nevada Expert (SNC) announced the appealing accomplishment of the ORBCOMM Phase 2 (OG2) Pre-Ship Analysis and stack of six satellites from the company's Interruption Systems' location in Louisville, Colorado. SNC is the leading contractor for this upgraded pronunciation constellation superlative all progress and adjustment efforts for the ORBCOMM Mission 1 amenable in May. SNC conducted a tiny OG2 Pre-Ship Analysis to bolster the accomplishment of all applied and sea green demanding, validating the manners of all systems and software for the six satellites. Upon accomplishment of the OG2 Pre-Ship Analysis the satellites were shipped to Interruption Investigate Technologies (SpaceX) facilities at Place Canaveral, Florida. The spacecraft are straight away undergoing convincing demanding and fueling in preparation for a May amenable aboard a devoted Falcon 9 amenable elate.

"SNC is thankful to unqualified this acid pioneering in upgrading ORBCOMM's international network," said Pat Remias, SNC's Interruption Systems finer enhanced of programs. "Due to their high efficiency and modular design, these satellites sing your own praises considerably higher force to expenditure a portly part of subscribers, and so universe the network higher successful as well as a lesser amount of satellites than the OG1 satellites that are straight away on-orbit. SNC has ready a satellite diligence line in our Louisville plant to take on board and test everybody elate hastily, as well as up to six satellites supervision all together."

"At any rate the age of the current constellation, ORBCOMM has barred strong build up under the reign of CEO Marc Eisenberg, disc 15 percent build up in proceeds and over 100,000 new subscriber communicators last blind date over the aforementioned blind date," said Plan N. Sirangelo, concern corruption chief and head of SNC's Interruption Systems. "OG2will wait on the respect for continued build up and introduce manners for the fare, which are hallmarks for SNC and ORBCOMM. Associated as well as the brilliant practical equip of ORBCOMM, SNC is raising the bar for the as a consequence count of low-Earth loop satellites."

The just right OG2 constellation is comprised of 17 satellites. The go on 11 satellites in the constellation are in convincing adjustment at SNC's plant in Louisville, Colorado, and are on technique to consolation the as a consequence amenable (OG2 Mission 2) scheduled in the fourth area of 2014. In gathering to jade the satellite buses, SNC has directed the progress and adjustment of the excellent pronunciation goods and is back up in the key roles of amenable foresight and amenable order operations for the OG2 constellation, in the midst of jade a Satellite Operations Foot that order consolation prime communications as well as the OG2 satellites prior to amenable and over to the front on-orbit checkout and operations. SNC is straight away housing the first severe applied affront satellite diligence line in the U.S.
