Starfighters Space Engages ILS to Advance STARLAUNCH Project
Starfighters Space announced that it has engaged Integrated Launch Solutions to provide engineering and technical integration support as Starfighters advances the STARLAUNCH pathway from design and analysis toward flight and launch services. Under this agreement, ILS will serve as an extension of the Starfighters team, providing critical support in the areas of Mission Design, Analysis, & Simulation, Systems Engineering & Technical Integration, Regulatory & Safety Compliance, and Range Integration. Together, Starfighters and ILS will develop the program policies, plans and processes necessary to provide robust, repeatable and cost-effective flight and launch services to support the research, development, test and evaluation of flight hardware and instrumentation. "STARLAUNCH is a pathway, and the pathway depends on execution," said Tim Franta, Chief Executive Officer of Starfighters Space. "ILS brings launch, range, licensing and mission integration experience from programs that have supported the U.S. Air Force, NRO, NASA and commercial customers. Combined with Jose Arias and Catrina Medeiros joining our STARLAUNCH operations team, this engagement gives us more of the process discipline and execution capacity required to expedite space launch development from concept through flight readiness."
