The SeaSpace AXYOM Model 50 provides low-Earth-orbit satellite tracking for Earth observation, telemetry and command, and communication system applications. The antennas will be delivered later this year for installation at commercial ground station facilities in Alaska and Hawai`i. Allied Defense, among other endeavors, develops and produces weather and navigation software, data and systems for commercial and military customers. Bigelow Aerospace, which receives ongoing technical assistance from NASA Johnson Space Center, is developing commercial low-cost inflatable space habitats. Bigelow also co-sponsors America's Space Prize, a $50 million competition intended to foster development of low-cost commercial crewed orbital vehicles capable of launching five to seven astronauts at a time by the end of the decade.
