LANHAM, Md., July 14, 2004. Integral Systems, Inc. today announced a contract with Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems (LMCSS) that expanded Integral's existing JCSAT-9 satellite control system contract to include the JCSAT-10 satellite.
LMCSS was able to take advantage of EPOCH'S flexible design to offer a low-cost, no-risk solution for the JCSAT-10 satellite control system that will be fully integrated with the JCSAT-9 system.
The system will incorporate several elements of Integral Systems' EPOCH IPS (integrated product suite) product line to provide complete real-time command and control system as well as automated scheduling, procedure execution, offline trending and analysis functions, and flight dynamics.
In addition, LMCSS has selected Integral's Status and Control (S&C) System for monitoring and controlling the JCSAT-10 ground station antenna and RF equipment. The S&C System will be provided through Integral's Newpoint Technology division of Salem, N.H., and will be based on the COMPASS product.
"We are pleased to expand our relationship with both Lockheed Martin, one of the world's premiere satellite manufacturing companies, and with JSAT Corporation, the largest satellite operator in the Asia-Pacific region," said Stuart Daughtridge, vice president of the Commercial Division at Integral Systems.
"Our proven EPOCH system provides LMCSS and JSAT a state of the art, integrated solution that meets the combined requirements for the JCSAT-9 and 10 programs and gives JSAT a consolidated satellite control solution for the operations of these and future satellites."
