Join SST-US at AIAA Rocky Mountain Section

In the news

This week SST-US will give a presentation at an American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronatutics (AIAA) Rocky Mountain section. The presentaion will take place at the Ball Aerospace offices in Broomfield, Colorado and will highlight the activities of Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL's) new US subsidiary in Englewood Colorado.

SST-US
SST-US aims to take advantage of the growing international demand for economical, responsive and highly capable spacecraft for a broad range of applications. In addition to the office in Colorado, SST-US also plans centres in California and Washington DC.

Surrey Satellite Technology strives to improve and increase the application and utility of small satellites that address the need for operationally responsive space (ORS). Kevin Little, Director of business development will speak about the SSTL’s prior US spacecraft including UoSAT-1, (launched in 1981 in collaboration with NASA), PICOSat to the US Air Force (in 2001) and the development of a platform for Los Alamos National Laboratories for the CFESat mission and collaboration with Mississippi State University on small satellites.

SST-US will discuss plans to build on the relationships already established by SSTL and plans to rapidly expand into a self-contained US entity designing, building and operating a range of spacecraft and sub-systems using US staff.

    Robin,
    I have a few questions about SST-US. First, are they going to have their own web presence and contact information? Second, when they eventually open their California office, are they going to have events with the local AIAA chapters? I'm up with the Antelope Valley chapter, and would love to find out more about what you guys are doing.

    Hi Jonathan,

    It's great to hear so much enthusiasm for what SST-US is doing (and going to do).

    A couple of "yes"'s there, but it seems you're not the only one interested in finding out more so I'll post an update on the US operation soon with more information.

    PS Nice blog, I'll put you on our blogroll!

    Robin

    Robin,
    "A couple of "yes"'s there, but it seems you're not the only one interested in finding out more so I'll post an update on the US operation soon with more information."

    Looking forward to the update. I was thinking about writing a blog post about it, but didn't have enough information yet.

    "PS Nice blog, I'll put you on our blogroll!"

    Thanks! I'll return the favor.

    ~Jon
