Astrotech Subsidiary Awarded $2.2 Million Task Order for NASA Mission
Astrotech Space Operations Secures Task Order Under NASA Eastern Range Contract
Astrotech Corporation (Nasdaq:ASTC), a leading provider of commercial aerospace services, announced that its Astrotech Space Operations (ASO) subsidiary has won a fully-funded task order under the previously announced indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for payload processing support at the Eastern Range. The Company will provide facilities and payload processing services from its Titusville, Florida location in support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) mission scheduled to launch in September 2012.
��We look forward to furthering our partnership with NASA through support of the RBSP mission,�� stated Don M. White Jr., Senior Vice President and General Manager of Astrotech Space Operations. ��Astrotech is proud to continue playing a critical role in the success of NASA��s science missions by providing processing services and state-of-the-art facilities.��
On July 26, 2010 Astrotech announced the award of a $9.5 million indefinite delivery, indefinite qu! antity c ontract with NASA for payload processing support services associated with potential future missions. RBSP is the third mission awarded to Astrotech under the IDIQ contract. The Radiation Belt Storm Probes mission is part of NASA��s Living With a Star Geospace program to explore fundamental processes that operate throughout the solar system. RBSP is being designed to help NASA understand the sun��s influence on the Earth and near-Earth space by studying the planet��s radiation belts on various scales of space and time.
From Titusville, Florida, and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, Astrotech Space Operations provides all support necessary for government and commercial customers to successfully process their satellite hardware for launch, including advance planning; use of unique facilities; and spacecraft checkout, encapsulation, fueling, and transport. In its 30 year history, ASO has supported the processing of more than 290 spacecraft without impacting a customer��s launch schedule.
Biomass is very advantageous because it comes out from a total natural process and source and is not harmful in any way. Many of us don��t know what biomass actually is and how beneficial it is for human��s survival. Today the pollution rate has increased to more than 100 times than the past decades, and this is greatly damaging our ozone layer and it is effecting global warming in return. We burn different types of products and chemicals to produce electricity, fuel, and many other day to day usage materials in our lives that are constantly damaging the ozone layer.
In addition, landfill space is precious. But the fact remains that humans make waste and it has to go somewhere. The more we can do to reduce, reuse and recycle the less we have to worry about where our garbage goes. The more we can do to divert waste away from the landfill the less of our landsc! ape will be taken up by landfills. In fact, most of our big cities now have run out of space and pay to have their garbage hauled out into the heartland adding insult to injury. If you live in southern California there’s a good chance that your garbage ends up in Arizona. If you live in New York it probably ends up in western Pennsylvania.
