CONTRACT RELEASE: C08-031
NASA AWARDS REUSABLE SOLID ROCKET MOTORS CONTRACT MODIFICATION
WASHINGTON - NASA has awarded a contract modification valued at
$812.5
million to ATK Launch Systems Inc., of Brigham City, Utah, for
continued delivery of space shuttle reusable solid rocket motors.
The modification changes the current contract to align production to
launch schedule requirements through Sept. 30, 2010. The modification
reflects adjustments made in the shuttle manifest and makes
deliveries consistent with the planned retirement of the space
shuttle in September 2010.
ATK Launch Systems Inc. will produce and refurbish flight and
ground-test reusable solid rocket motors for the Space Shuttle
Program on this cost-plus-award fee contract, which was awarded in
October 1998.
Work will be performed at the contractor's plants in Brigham City and
Clearfield, Utah, along with facilities at NASA's Marshall Space
Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., and NASA's Kennedy Space Center,
Fla.
