LOCKHEED MARTIN AND NEWSAT ACHIEVE SIGNIFICANT PROGRAM MILESTONE ON JABIRU-1 SATELLITE. "Lockheed Martin has completed the Critical Design Review (CDR) of the satellite and each subsystem, demonstrating the producibility of the satellite design and compliance of the design with technical specifications. With CDR complete, the Lockheed Martin team will now begin the next phase of the program"
There were 2 specific hurdles we had to jump with Lockheed. The satellite, like all others Lockheed build had to undergo 2 very detailed reviews butue to the size and complexity of Jab-1 this was even more important with our satellite. Without the green light on these two phases - no Jab1
The first, the "proof of concept" was passed some while ago and the biggest hurdle "critical design review" has just had its box ticked.
