Launch update. ET and thread: here is some updated info on the launches. __________________________________________________________ Hello Mohan Marette: ÿÿÿÿ While eating lunch at my desk, I was browsing through the internet discussion groups about Orbital and noticed you posted a message on a Silicon Investor discussion thread about our upcoming launches. ÿÿÿÿ You are working with news that is a little dated.ÿ Here's the latest: ÿÿÿÿ ÿÿÿÿ Pegasus carrying SNOE/BATSAT - Launch currently planned for end of January/first week in February ÿÿÿÿ Taurus carrying U.S. Navy GFO satellite/2 ORBCOMM satellites - Launch currently planned for first half of February (can't be more specific at this time) ÿÿÿÿ Pegasus carrying TRACE (NASA satellite) - Launch currently planned for end of February/early March ÿÿÿÿ Pegasus carrying eight ORBCOMM satellites - Launch currently planned for end of March early April ÿÿÿÿ Pegasus carrying eight ORBCOMM satellites (to complete the 28 satellite constellation) - Launch currently planned before the end of June (mid-year) ÿÿÿÿ This schedule is for planning purposes only.ÿ As you have correctly mentioned in past messages you have posted, launch schedules are continually being updated/adjusted by all launch vehicle providers, including Orbital.ÿ This is nothing unusual. ÿÿÿÿ This schedule also dovetails with what we have been saying for many months now - that we are planning to complete the launches of the ORBCOMM satellites by mid-year 1998. ÿÿÿÿ I just want to make sure that the information being circulated around the internet is accurate. ÿÿÿÿ ÿÿÿÿ Regards. ÿÿÿÿ ÿÿÿÿ Barron Beneski ÿÿÿÿ Director - Public and Investor Relations ÿÿÿÿ Orbital Sciences Corp.
