摘要

Boeing Defense Space and Security of Huntington Beach, Calif, has won a three-way competition for a Pentagon contract worth as much as $104 million to build and demonstrate a low-cost, airborne satellite launching system, according to a March 24 posting on the Federal Business Opportunities website. The contract is for the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Airborne Launch Assist Space Access (ALASA) program, which is intended to field a system to launch satellites weighing up to 45 kilograms into low Earth orbit for as low as $1 million each. Part of a broader DARPA effort to reduce the cost and turnaround i time of national security space launches, ALASA seeks to use a rocket launched from modified fighter-jet aircraft taking off from a standard airport runway. Doing so, they argue, would allow the Defense Department to launch from almost anywhere, whereas currently space launches are restricted to just a few sites: Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.; Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.; Wallops Flight Facility, Va.; and Kodiak Island in Alaska.
