Spectrum Astro Inc.Spectrum Astro Inc., Gilbert, Ariz., is being awarded a cost-plus-award-fee contract modification to deliver a spacecraft spacecraft Vehicle designed to operate, with or without a crew, in a controlled flight pattern above Earth's lower atmosphere. Since streamlining is not needed in the high vacuum of this environment, a spacecraft's shape is designed according to its mission (see and perform mission integration necessary to collect Near Field Infra-Red Experiment data for the Kinetic Energy Interceptors The Kinetic Energy Interceptor (KEI) is a planned U.S. missile defense program whose goal is to design, develop, and deploy kinetic energy-based, mobile, ground and sea-launched missiles that can intercept and destroy enemy ballistic missiles during their boost phase. Program. The spacecraft will perform a series of near field infra-red engagements primarily collecting plume, hardbody and background data to develop homing algorithms for boost phase endgame Endgame blind and chair-bound, Hamm learns that nearly everybody has died; his own parents are dying in separate trash cans. [Anglo-Fr. Drama: Beckett Endgame in Weiss, 143] See : Death and models supporting the development of a boost and ascent phase capability. The period of performance for this award is from January 2003 through Aug. 15, 2004. The value of this contract modification is not to exceed $34,400,000. The Missile Defense Missile defence is an air defence system, weapon program, or technology involved in the detection, tracking, interception and destruction of attacking missiles. Originally conceived as a defence against nuclear-armed ICBMs, its application has broadened to include shorter-ranged Agency is the contracting activity (HQ0006-02-C-0050). |
