FEATURES

PROVEN RELIABILITY the-art technology demonstration missions, BALL CONFIGURABLE PLATFORM The combined BCP series has flown for under fixed-price or cost-reimbursable more than an equivalent of 85 years — contract types. consistently exceeding spacecraft’s design life A WIDE RANGE OF MISSIONS — demonstrating Ball’s commitment to quality and reliability at an affordable price. The highly agile Ball Aerospace BCP spacecraft line meets customer needs CONSISTENT, INCREMENTAL from initial technology development to ENHANCEMENT prototype demonstration to full, operational mission. The BCP line is flown in a variety Ball continuously evolves our BCP spacecraft of orbits with a wide assortment of family. A long and dependable BCP history payloads, including electro-optical payloads enables incremental improvements to the (imagers and limb scanners) with high spacecraft capability with a focus on reduced accuracy pointing requirements. As a space cost; including high-power systems, low- instrument developer, Ball Aerospace applies mass energy storage/ generation subsystems, its payload/instrument accommodation higher agility, advanced propulsion and higher experience to deliver end-to-end space capacity telecommunications. This approach systems. Our experience gives Ball to spacecraft design, development and Aerospace a mission systems expertise that manufacturing enables Ball to confidently translates into a proven ability to fulfill the support operational missions and state-of- most challenging mission requirements.
