CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 30 (UPI) -- Goodrich announced the U.S. Air Force has authorized a plan to continue the Operationally Responsive Space program's ongoing development.
The ORS program features U.S. company Goodrich's satellite technology. Officials say the authorization of the ORS program to continue development follows a recent successful critical design review.
Goodrich says its ORS Sat-1 satellite system is designed to provide the Air Force ground commanders with color pictures of selected regions and "use existing ground systems to process and distribute the images and other information out to the battlefield," a news release said.
"Goodrich is committed to on-time delivery of an extremely capable operational satellite to meet the immediate needs of our military," Andreas Nonnenmacher, Goodrich ISR Systems vice president and general manager, said in a statement. "Our intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems team is on track to meet its next major milestones, including satellite delivery and launch in 2010."
