Aerojet to Provide Propulsion for NASA's Radiation Belt Storm Probes Mission
November 7th, 2008
Aerojet, a GenCorp (NYSE:GY) company, announced that it has been selected by Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) to provide propulsion systems for NASA's Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) mission. The work will be conducted at Aerojet's Redmond, Wash. facility. The objective of the RBSP mission is to understand the fundamental physics underlying the source, loss and transport processes that govern the radiation belts -- the two regions encircling the Earth, where high energy particles are trapped by the Earth's magnetic field. Observations from two spacecraft will be used to develop empirical and physics-based models for the radiation belts....
