Space Fence, Advanced GPS Highlighted At 27th Annual National Space Symposium

Raytheon to Demonstrate Advanced Space Solutions

Raytheon Company says it is displaying a number of its space solutions at the 27th annual National Space Symposium this week in Colorado Springs.

The company says there are three key areas in which it supports the space mission: Sensing; Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I); and Mission Support. Among Raytheon's space technologies being demonstrated are Space Fence, which provides space situational awareness; the Joint Polar Satellite System Common Ground System; the Global Positioning System Advanced Control Segment; VIIRS (Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite) next-generation environmental monitoring system; the Responder rapidly deployable space payload; hyperspectral imaging from space; and Rapid Thunder mission support.

Sponsored by the Space Foundation, National Space Symposium is the premier gathering of the global space community, with participants from the civil, commercial and national security sectors of the space industry.

As part of the company's sponsorship of the James E. Hill Lifetime Achievement Award Luncheon, Lynn Dugle, president of Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems (IIS), addressed attendees and speak to Raytheon's capabilities in the space arena.

Steve Hawkins, vice president, IIS Information Security Solutions, participated on "The Human Dimension of Cybersecurity" panel during the symposium's Cyber 1.1 event. Lynn Mortensen, vice president, IIS Engineering, was tapped as a member of the "Education and the Bottom Line" panel.

And former NASA astronauts Danny Olivas and Don McMonagle, now Raytheon employees, will share their space experiences with local students April 14 in a fun educational session in Raytheon's booth.
