Falls Church VA (SPX) Jan 17, 2008 Harris has been selected by the U.S. Air Force for the Network and Space Operations and Maintenance (NSOM) program. The NSOM program contains a base contract and six options that bring the potential overall value to $410 million over six-and-a-half-years. Harris will provide operations and maintenance support to the 50th Space Wing's Air Force Satellite Control Network at locations around the world. The 50th Space Wing's Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN), based in Colorado Springs, is a global, continuously operational network of ground stations, operational control nodes, and communications links that support launch, and command and control of various space programs managed by the Department of Defense and other national security space organizations. It is responsible for providing readiness, launch, early orbit/on-orbit support, and anomaly resolution for a variety of military satellite constellations. "The Harris team has delivered high levels of maintenance and service performance during the past seven years while supporting the 50th Space Wing on the Mission Communications and Operations Maintenance (MCOM) and Operational Space Services and Support (OSSS) programs," said Ted Hengst, president of Harris Information Technology Services. "NSOM includes a majority of the MCOM and OSSS programs, and we look forward to continuing this relationship with the 50th Space Wing."
