SBIR-STTR Award

In response to this engineering challenge, Millennium Space Systems (MSS) and its partners are pleased to present a proposal to develop an Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) based on the flight proven propulsion system and an AFRL Operationally Responsive Space Modular Bus avionics architecture. Our EELV Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA) -based OMS design incorporates flight proven and reliable propulsion components into a common propulsion module provide a high performance and low risk propulsion solution. A utilitarian spacecraft bus based on flight-proven hardware and software provides a low risk solution at minimal non-recurring and recurring cost. Given the substantial body of technical design and experience we are able to offer meets or exceeds OMS requirements at a fraction of traditional satellite solution.

Millennium Space Systems (“Millennium”) and its partners developed an ESPA-based Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS); a fully functional modular spacecraft with high performance propulsion system capable of delivering Secondary Payloads into tailored orbits. Millennium blends flight proven components and cost saving utilitarian design to meet high value mission requirements at minimal cost and risk. Our 100% EELV compatible OMS is launched on frequent EELV Primary Payload orbits to provide a responsive and cost-effective alternative to dedicated launches for a wide range of DoD, Civil, and Commercial spacecraft. Through careful program planning and flight-proven development techniques, Millennium delivers a flight-ready OMS design at the conclusion of Phase II, in time for an inaugural mission in 2010.
