Ford Aerospace was a manufacturer of satellites, missiles, and defense systems, and also contributed to the development of NASA's Mission Control Center in Houston. The company's key activities included satellite communication and high-speed information systems. Ford Aerospace was eventually sold to Loral Corporation in 1990.
