Develop and Lead New Business Unit; Design, Develop and Execute New Satellite Product-line which will lead the market in providing multiple in orbit services. Including in orbit robotics, autonomous rendezvous proximity and docking, and satellite life extension capabilities.Satellite Mission Extension Servicesprovides cooperative in-orbit satellite life extension and maneuvering services to geosynchronous satellite operators using its Mission Extension Vehicle (MEV). The MEV docks with customers’ existing satellites providing the propulsion and attitude control needed to extend their lives.The MEV is capable of docking with virtually all-geosynchronous satellites with minimal interruption to operations. It will enable satellite operators to significantly extend satellite mission life, activate new markets, drive asset value and protect their franchises. Orbital ATK mission extension services are flexible, scalable, capital-efficient and low-risk. Our breakthrough innovation provides satellite operators unprecedented flexibility in asset deployment, enabling game-changing advances in financial and operating flexibility, and risk mitigation.The Mission Extension Vehicle (MEV) is based on the Orbital ATK Gemini bus, that safely rendezvous and docks with an orbiting satellite in the geosynchronous orbit. To do so, a suite of integrated proximity sensors is used to reliably and safely rendezvous with the client satellite. The MEV then utilizes a simple mechanical docking system that attaches to existing features on the client satellite creating a firm connection between the MEV and the client satellite. This docking system is compatible with an estimated 80% of all geosynchronous satellites on orbit today.
