DULLES, Va. -- Satellite systems designers at Orbital Sciences Corp. in Dulles, Va., needed electronic amplifiers that enhance the transmission of very low-level radio frequency signals from orbiting satellites back to Earth. They found their solution from Boeing Electron Dynamic Devices (EDD), in Torrance, Calif.
Orbital awarded Boeing EDD a $10 million order for linearized traveling wave tube amplifiers (LTWTAs), which help satellites send clear communications signals. EDD, part of he Boeing Space and Communications business unit, builds power and propulsion components for space applications.
Orbital Sciences builds low-orbit, geostationary, and planetary spacecraft for communications, scientific, and remote sensing for commercial, civil government, and military applications.
Boeing EDD builds microwave traveling wave-tube amplifiers, passive microwave devices, and ion thrusters.
For more information contact Boeing EDD by phone at 310-517-5400, by fax at 310-517-6451, by post at 3100 West Lomita Blvd., P.O. Box 2999, Torrance, Calif. 90509-2999, or on the World Wide Web at http://www.twtas.com.
