DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Orbit Communication Systems Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Orbit Communication Systems Ltd. (TASE: ORBI), a leading provider of precision tracking-based communications solutions, announced today that Orbit's Tracking and Telemetry Antenna Solution successfully supported and met all performance expectations during Virgin Orbit's initial LauncherOne rocket launch.
Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne mission is to open space for everyone, by employing a Boeing 747 carrier for launching a rocket into orbit, thus enabling cost effective and increased availability of launching of small payloads into orbit. Traditional ground launches of satellites are too costly to put small sub-100-pound satellites into orbit without a larger payload accompanying it to make the launch worth the expense, limiting the availability of rides to space for small satellites, which conduct a variety of critical missions.
