Sanswire Sending STS-111 Skyward In Orlando
Sanswire Corp. (OTC.BB:SNSR), through its Joint Venture Sanswire-TAO Corp., announced an agreement with Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) to publicly unveil and demonstrate the STS-111 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), their new commercial, mid altitude, multi-day duration, lighter-than-air platform designed to rapidly provide persistent surveillance capabilities and to work in tandem with other currently deployed UAVs in various domestic and overseas operations. SFB and Sanswire will be hosting the demonstration at Orlando Sanford International Airport in Florida on Runway 9R-27L over a two-day event to be confirmed early 2010 pending logistics scheduling of the commercial STS-111 UAV.
SFB will provide the flight facilities and host Sanswire's team during the demonstrations, which will include flight demonstrations of the STS-111, a "hands on" inspection of the airship and the auxiliary systems, and systems presentations from members of the team. The public event is anticipated to be attended by various local Florida political representatives as well as federal government officials from various offices to witness and learn how the STS-111 can assist and fulfill many of the country's homeland and national defense requirements. Following this two day event, the STS-111 will be transported to Sanswire's systems integrator and operator, a top 10 U.S. defense contractor where the joint team will collaborate on preparing the STS-111 Unmanned Airship for jointly held private demonstrations to potential customers. At the systems integrator and operator's facilities, various systems, sensors and communications packages will be installed, along with operational training for planned multi-day mission, long-endurance flight testing.
