Surrey Satellite Technology US LLC (SST-US) is soliciting ancillary payloads for its upcoming OTB mission that will be launched in Q1 2015, offering both government and commercial organizations a low risk, cost effective opportunity for the flight and operation of payloads, subsystems and equipments in low earth orbit.

OTB has remaining capacity available for exploitation by additional payloads

Surrey has a proven track record in the provision of high quality, rapid, cost effective small satellite solutions, applications and services and extensive knowledge and firsthand experience in facilitating flight opportunities for hosted payloads and equipments.

Over fifty separate demonstration and experimental payloads have been successfully delivered to orbit by Surrey to date, and the company strives to continue to provide future flight opportunities.

The upcoming Orbital Test Bed ("OTB") mission, takes advantage of the company's flight proven solutions, and with remaining capacity provides an opportunity for customers requiring hosted payload flight opportunities.

Customers would benefit from reliable, low risk access to orbit and enables them to rapidly and cost effectively space-qualify new technology, acquire mission experience and generate in-orbit data - while sharing the cost of the satellite and the launch.

Dr. John Paffett, SST-US CEO stated, "Our track record of delivering hosted payload solutions spans more than 25 years and encompasses the accommodation of customer payloads on our satellite platforms, as well as filling launch vehicle manifests.

With OTB, we are continuing Surrey's successful model from LEO and MEO missions such as UKDMC-2 and GIOVE-A and the forthcoming ADS-1B and TechDemoSat-1 satellites, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to providing cost effective access to space."
