 "Focus on performance." Since the beginning of 2007, this has been our guiding principle at ILS. Performance can be measured in many ways, but optimizing Proton’s throw weight has been one focal point of ILS and partner Khrunichev. With the launch of DIRECTV 10 in July, the companies will be unveiling the latest developments in our ongoing pursuit of maximizing launch performance.
LIFTOFF sat down with ILS CTO and Vice President of Programs and Operations Jim Bonner to talk about the enhancements and what the benefits are for ILS customers.
