Northrop Grumman Leading Charge for Space Radar Demo

摘要

Northrop Grumman Corp. is a major driving force behind the Pentagon's proposed Space Radar demonstration mission, going so far as to issue a request for information from companies interested in building the spacecraft. Six companies submitted spacecraft designs in response to the request, according to Taylor Lawrence, a sector vice president for command and control and space systems at Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems in Linthicum, Md., just outside Baltimore. All of the designs were suit-able for the proposed 2008 demonstration, he said.
