LANHAM, Md., Oct. 17, 2006/Satnews Daily/ ― Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems (LMCSS) has selected Integral Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISYS) to provide primary and backup satellite control systems for the VINASAT-1 satellite. The satellite is currently being constructed by LMCSS for the Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT).
Integral System said the satellite control systems will incorporate several elements of Ithe company’s EPOCH Integrated Product Suite (IPS) to provide a complete real-time command and control system as well as automated scheduling, procedure execution, offline trending and analysis, and flight dynamics functions.
The selection of Integral for this contract builds upon its existing relationship with LMCSS on previous programs and EPOCH's extensive install base (largest in the industry), which includes numerous other LMCSS A2100-based satellites. The contract also reflects VNPT's desire to have a proven solution able to support the future growth of their satellite fleet, according to Integral.
Stuart Daughtridge, vice president of the Commercial Division at Integral Systems, said with its continuing relationship with Lockheed, the company is becoming a growing force in the Asia Satcom marketplace.
“By selecting Integral, LMCSS and VNPT will not just be receiving today's leading solution for satellite command and control, EPOCH IPS, but a low-cost, no-risk operationally proven solution that readily supports both VNPT's current and future needs,” he added.
