摘要

Satellite and rocket manufacturer Orbital Sciences Corp. on July 17 said it had booked the first two orders for its higher-power telecommunications satellite product, the GeoStar-3, and that it had made a second bid to use its new Antares rocket for a commercial mission. In a conference call with investors, Orbital Sciences Chief Executive David W. Thompson said a decision has just about been made on a long-term supplier for the Antares first-stage propulsion system, and that a formal announcement was imminent. Antares is currently powered by the AJ-26 engine built by NK Engines of Russia and refurbished by Aerojet Rocketdyne of Sacramento, California. The current supply of these engines is running out and Dulles, Virgina-based Orbital is faced with making a fresh order to restart production, or choosing an alternative supplier. Among other options, Orbital is weighing an engine to be built by ATK's Aerospace and Defense Groups, with which Orbital is merging. The transaction is expected to close late this year.
