With appropriate modification, we have also adapted this bus for JPL’s Dawn interplanetary mission, currently en route to the asteroid Ceres.

Science applications include atmospheric monitoring, solar irradiance monitoring, and astronomical exploration. Currently LEOStar-2 programs include the OCO-2, TESS and ICON spacecraft. First developed for the GeoEye, OrbView-3, and OrbView-4 commercial high-resolution imagery system, the LEOStar-2 spacecraft has flown in a redundant configuration for NASA’s SORCE mission, in a selectively redundant configuration for NASA’s GALEX mission, and in a single-string configuration for NASA's AIM and NuSTAR missions. Using mature designs, proven assembly procedures, and established vendor sources, the LEOStar-2 bus can be developed well within 36 months after receipt of order.Ĭurrently, Orbital has four LEOStar based satellites on-orbit and has three in production.

Orbital has the end-to-end capability to build, integrate, test, launch and operate missions. Customers can procure the LEOStar-2 spacecraft bus alone or as part of a “turn-key” service that includes mission design, instrument/payload integration, satellite environmental test, launch services, early orbit checkout, and mission operations, including instrument data delivery to principal investigators.
