Working hand-in-hand with Principal Investigators and NASA, we have developed affordable and reliable spacecraft busses designed to support a variety of Earth and space science payloads and missions. Current programs include the NASA-funded Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), Glory, Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), and Gravity and Extreme Magnetism (GEMS) missions.
Recent and past programs have included the NASA-funded Dawn and Deep Space 1 planetary spacecraft, as well low-earth orbit NASA satellite missions such as the Fermi Gamma Ray Observatory, Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX), Swift Gamma Ray Burst Observatory, and Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM). For the National Space Program Office (NSPO) of Taiwan, Republic of China, Orbital provided the six micro satellite FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC constellation.
