Lockheed Martin is preparing to launch a demonstration mission of the LM 400, a mid-size satellite bus that can support missions to both Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Orbit (GEO). The launch contract has not yet been announced, but Lockheed Space spokesman Chris Pettigrew tells
Via Satellite the mission will be launching soon, as an internal payload technology demonstration with a variety of mission areas, including Earth Observation (EO), communications, and climate monitoring.
The LM 400 is a configurable bus about the size of a refrigerator, and there are 10 variants in the LM 400 series. It is a new part of the company’s lineup of flexible buses including the LM 50 for nanosatellites and the LM 2100 for larger missions. It conforms with Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) and Lockheed Martin’s SmartSat software-defined satellite platform.

Sikorsky-Boeing Defiant-X
WASHINGTON: Sikorsky and Boeing did “hundreds of trade studies” and consulted extensively with the Army to refine their SB>1 Defiant compound helicopter into the new Defiant-X, officially unveiled today.
What’s the difference? The companies were cagey about details, and they said they may make further tweaks. But between their guarded statements and the keen eyes of fellow reporters on the conference call, we can highlight a few visible changes in the images released today:
Defiant-X has beefed up landing gear, having gained a nose wheel that the SB>1 Defiant lacked. (SB>1 had two large wheels forward and a small wheel on the tail – check out these close-ups). This almost certainly adds weight, but, the companies said, it will improve stability on rugged frontline landing zones.
