Description
On April 21, 1989, NASA informed Lockheed CEO Dan Tellep that Lockheed Missiles & Space Company had been selected for negotiations of the Advanced Solid Rocket Motor (ASRM). Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, specifically the Missile Systems Division, is the prime contractor to the Marshall Space Flight Center for the ASRM. Teamed with Lockheed as major subcontractors are Aerojet Space Boosters and Rust International as shown in Figure 1. Lockheed Missiles Systems Division's primary function for more than thirty years has been the systems management of major Fleet Ballistic Missile programs for the United States Navy. In those projects, Lockheed subcontractors have been all of the major solid propellant contractors in the United States. Lockheed's role resulting from this experience base is that of project manager, where Lockheed provides systems engineering and integration of the entire project.
Lockheed's association with Aerojet as subcontractor on the Polaris program, dates back to the mid-1950's; thus the ASRM project represents a continuation of a long and productive association between the two major corporations. Aerojet, the major participant in the project, is responsible for the design, analysis and engineering of the rocket motor, as well as the manufacturing, quality assurance and testing. The other major subcontractor to Lockheed is Rust International, headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. Rust is one of the largest domestic construction companies in the United States and will be responsible for the design and engineering of the facility, procurement and installation of equipment, and managing the construction activities.
