Two Northrop Grumman Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program satellites named GSSAP-5 and GSSAP-6 were launched into orbit on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as part of the USSF-8 mission.
The USSF-8 mission was the third ULA Atlas V rocket launch supported by Northrop Grumman’s 63-inch-diameter Graphite Epoxy Motor (GEM 63) solid rocket booster.
Northrop Grumman produced the composite heat shield that provides protection to the Atlas V first-stage engine, the Centaur Interstage Adapter that houses the second-stage engine, and the broadtail that adapts from the core vehicle to the five-meter diameter fairing using advanced fiber placement manufacturing and automated inspection techniques.
Northrop Grumman built the GSSAP-5 and GSSAP-6 satellites.
