Company Profile
Orbital Sciences Corporation develops and manufactures small and medium-class rockets and space systems for commercial, military, and civil government customers. The company operates in three segments: Launch Vehicles, Satellites and Space Systems, and Advanced Space Programs. The Launch Vehicles segment develops and produces interceptor launch vehicles for missile defense systems, including interceptor boosters- target launch vehicles, such as suborbital rockets and their principal subsystems, as well as payloads carried by such vehicles used in the development and testing of missile defense systems- and space launch vehicles. The Satellites and Space Systems segment develops and produces communications satellites that provide cable and direct-to-home television distribution, business data network connectivity, regional mobile telephony, and other space-based communications services- and science and remote sensing satellites that are used to conduct space-related scientific research, carry out interplanetary and other deep-space exploration missions, collect imagery and other remotely-sensed data about the earth, and demonstrate new space technologies. This segment also provides space systems and subsystems, including satellite command and data handling, attitude control, and structural subsystems- and a range of space-related technical services, including analytical, engineering, and production services for space-related science and defense programs. The Advanced Space Programs segment develops and produces human-rated systems to be used in earth orbit, planetary exploration, and other space missions- and small and medium-class satellites and related systems used primarily for national security space missions and related technology demonstration programs. The company operates in the United States, Europe, Mexico, South America, Australia, and East Asia. Orbital Sciences Corporation was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in Dulles, Virginia.
