ILS To Launch Loral-Built MBSAT On Next-Generation Atlas
McLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 2002--International Launch Services (ILS) has signed an agreement with Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) for launch of a satellite that will provide services to mobile users in Japan and South Korea.
The satellite, MBSAT, is set for launch in the fourth quarter of next year on a Lockheed Martin Atlas III vehicle from Cape Canaveral, Fla.
The Atlas is one of three families of rockets offered by ILS, which is a joint venture of Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:LMT - News) and two Russian companies, Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center and RSC Energia of Moscow. ILS was formed to market and manage the missions for the Atlas and the Russian Proton and Angara vehicles.
SS/L is building the satellite for Mobile Broadcasting Corp. (MBC) of Japan, which has announced plans to deliver such multimedia services as audio, video and data to mobile users in Japan. Similar services are planned in South Korea using the same satellite.
"I'm pleased to be announcing another launch for Space Systems/Loral, within weeks of successfully putting the Loral-built DIRECTV-5 satellite in orbit," said ILS President Mark Albrecht. "In fact, we're in the midst of launching three Loral satellites in a row on our Proton vehicle and last year we launched a Loral satellite on Atlas. We welcome Loral to either of our launch sites any time."
The MBSAT spacecraft is a version of SS/L's space-proven three-axis, body-stabilized, 1300 bus, as are the three SS/L satellites that ILS is launching this year. "With last month's launch of DIRECTV-5, ILS's two vehicles have put a total of 29 Loral spacecraft into orbit, all successfully, and we expect another Mission Success next year with MBSAT," Albrecht said.
The Atlas III is part of the next generation of launch vehicles being offered by ILS, based in McLean, Va. The Atlas III is a planned progression from the 100-percent-successful Atlas II series. It also proved out technologies that are used on the Atlas V, which Lockheed Martin developed for both commercial missions and the U.S. Air Force's Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program.
Two Atlas III vehicles have flown, both successfully, and the Atlas V is scheduled to begin launching in July.
The Atlas III builds upon the pressure-stabilized booster design of the Atlas II, but uses the Russian RD-180 main engine with variable thrust control. This engine is evolved from the flight-proven RD-170 engine built by NPO Energomash. The Atlas V also uses the RD-180, with a structurally stabilized Common Core Booster(TM).
Up to five solid rocket boosters can be strapped on for additional lift capability. All Atlas vehicles use a Centaur upper stage, with one or two Pratt & Whitney RL-10 engines.
ILS' Atlas rockets and their Centaur upper stages are built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company-Astronautics Operations at facilities in Denver, Colo.; Harlingen, Texas; and San Diego, Calif. The three-stage Proton and the Breeze M upper stage are assembled by Khrunichev at its plant near Moscow. The alternative Block DM upper stage is built by Energia, also near Moscow.
Space Systems/Loral is a premier designer, manufacturer and integrator of powerful satellites and satellite systems. SS/L also provides a range of related services, including mission control operations and procurement of launch services.
Based in Palo Alto, Calif., the company has an international base of commercial and governmental customers whose applications include broadband digital communications, direct-to-home broadcast, defense communications, environmental monitoring, and air traffic control. SS/L is a subsidiary of Loral Space & Communications.
Mobile Broadcasting Corp. was established in Japan to provide cars and mobile terminals with digital satellite broadcasting. MBC's partners include 55 companies, including major shareholders Toshiba, SK Telecom, NTT Data, Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance, Toyota, Fujitsu, Nippon TV and Panasonic. For more information, visit モバイル放送.
ILS offers the broadest range of launch services in the world along with products with the highest reliability in the industry. With two independent, highly reliable vehicles and two dedicated launch sites, ILS pioneered the concept of Mutual Backup, thus assuring satellites will be launched on schedule.
ILS's next launch is planned for June with the EchoStar VIII satellite, built by SS/L, on a Proton vehicle. For more information, visit Proton Rocket | Commercial Launch | Sales & Mission Management.

NASA Selects ILS to Launch Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2005 Another Mission for Next-Generation Atlas
MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 2002--NASA's Kennedy Space Center has chosen International Launch Services (ILS) to launch the latest in its series of missions to Mars.
ILS is scheduled to launch the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on an Atlas III launch vehicle in August 2005 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. The Atlas is one of three families of rockets offered by ILS, which is a joint venture of Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:LMT - News) and two Russian companies, Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center and RSC Energia of Moscow.
ILS was formed to market and manage the missions for the Atlas and the Russian Proton and Angara vehicles.
Both the Atlas rocket and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter are being built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems Co. of Denver. The Atlas II and III series boast a perfect record of 100 percent mission success in 60 consecutive launches.
"We're pleased to be selected for such an important mission," said ILS President Mark Albrecht. "This was a best-value, low-risk proposition, using the proven Atlas III vehicle. Its 100 percent successful performance was a key discriminator in NASA's selection of Atlas. Planetary missions like these are the bedrock of NASA's science mission and we are very proud that the Administration has placed its trust in Atlas."
Albrecht noted that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration conducts a formal certification process for launch vehicles to reduce risk. NASA has certified the Atlas II for launch of critical and high-value missions such as the Tracking and Data Relay (TDRS) satellites and the GOES weather observation satellites.
Atlas III certification is going well, and Atlas III is the first vehicle in its class to be selected under NASA's Launch Services (NLS) procurement program. The Atlas III is evolved from the Atlas II series, and flew successfully in May 2000 and February 2002.
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will provide high-resolution remote sensing of Mars' surface for investigators to make science observations and select possible sites for future spacecraft landings. The orbiter also will provide telecommunications and navigation relay capability for follow-on missions.
The Atlas III is part of the next generation of launch vehicles being offered by ILS, based in McLean, Va. The Atlas III is a planned progression from the Atlas II series. It also proved out technologies that are used on the Atlas V, which Lockheed Martin developed for both commercial missions and the U.S. Air Force's Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program.
