Air Force Space Command’s Space and Missile Systems Center at Los Angeles has contracted with ITT for another two years to provide systems engineering at the nation’s two space launch facilities—the eastern range at Cape Canaveral AFS, Fla., and western range at Vandenberg AFB, Calif. The contract is worth $18.3 million and runs to October 2008.
The Air Force may wind up buying land to build 120 new intercontinental ballistic missile silos as part of its revamped infrastructure approach for the new Sentinel ICBM.
