Derek Lyons wrote: Should be an interesting story why NASA preferred to deal with NRL vice Lockheed. Might have had something to do with the fact that the NRL is a govermental organization, and Lockheed isn't. Based on what Aviation Leak said, the Bus 1 they originally looked at using was hardware that already existed and was government (presumably NRO) owned, not something Lockheed would have had to build. Possibly it was no longer available for some reason by the time the ICM business came up. -- MOST launched 30 June; first light, 29 July; 5arcsec | Henry Spencer pointing, 10 Sept; first science, early Oct; all well. | |
