Alliant Techsystems wins NASA contract worth more than $50M

Daily Record, The (Baltimore), Jan 14, 2008

Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK), the sole maker of reusable solid- rocket motors for U.S. space shuttles, won a contract valued at more than $50 million to build solar arrays for NASA's new Orion spacecraft. The solar arrays are expendable for each mission, which should mean continuous production at least through 2020, Edina, Minn.-based Alliant said Friday.

The award came from Bethesda-based Lockheed Martin Corp., the lead contractor for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Orion program.
