NASA, from 6
tion with NASA, we’ve learned a great deal from working with the NASA Armstrong team, especially through the flight test operation por- tion of the collaboration. The culmination of this partnership in the successful flight test campaign has demonstrated the value of the NASA’s public-private partnership model for supporting the advancement of novel, commer- cial aerospace technologies.”
Generation Orbit Launch Services Inc. is working toward offering fast and dedicated space transportation services for small pay- loads. The air-launch approach was developed by the company to provide flexible launch capabilities and to reduce fixed infrastructure needs, launch costs, and the time from contract signature to launch.
“This public-private partnership between NASA and Generation Orbit helped to advance a commercial air-launch system for delivering small payloads that will someday benefit the nation’s space and hypersonic needs,” said Ron Young, program manager for NASA’s Flight Opportunities program. “Armstrong’s rich heri- tage to safely fly unique aircraft configurations and Generation Orbit’s rapid ability to quickly deliver a flight test article allowed for a signifi- cant accomplishment advancement in this com- mercial capability in a short period of time.”
NASA’s C-20A is based at Armstrong’s Building 703 in Palmdale, Calif. The aircraft supports missions under NASA’s Science and Space Technology Mission Directorates.
