ORS-4 Mission: Fully Funded for Summer 2014 launch The Operationally Responsive Space Office with support
from the Sandia National Laboratories, University of Hawaii and other partners is developing a orbital small launch vehicle. Goal is to deliver 300kg to Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Develop and test fly three new solid rocket motors from
Aerojet-Rocketdyne. Future mission cost is $15-18M/launch compared to
+$30M for other US alternatives. UH/HSFL’s HiakaSat will fly as the primary payload on the
Integrated Payload Stack UH hyperspectral imager flies on HiakaSat.
Partnerships Developed Space Act Agreement with NASA Ames:
Development of HiakaSat Strategic Alliance Agreement with Aerojet-
Rocketdyne: Solid rocket motors Pacific Missile Range Facility: Support for all HSFL
activities Sandia National Laboratory: Rocket development Alaska Aerospace Corporation: Future launch
opportunities for small sats *Northrop-Grumman: Space technology test-bed on
HiakaSat * USPACOM: Discussions and guidance regarding
Department of Defense future needs.
