Stockholm - May 16, 2001
Lockheed Martin Austronotics has selected a new Low Shock Separation System from Saab Ericsson Space for their Atlas V launch vehicle.

The low shock separation system will reduce the launcher induced satellite shock environment several orders of magnitude, while at the same time being capable of supporting future growth in satellite mass. A ten-year contract has been signed between the companies covering two types of standard separation system diameters.

Saab Ericsson Space has supported the Atlas with its standard separation system since the commercialisation of Atlas in the late eighties. The Saab Ericsson Space separation systems has a flight record of more than 260 in-orbit-separations with a success rate of 100%.

Saab Ericsson Space is an independent supplier of space equipment. The company develops and manufactures computers, antenna systems, microwave electronics and guidance and separation systems for launch vehicles and satellites.

The headquarters is located in Goteborg, Sweden, a division at Saab in Linkoping, Sweden, and subsidiaries in Austria and the USA. Saab Ericsson Space employs 660 people.
