Wyle Joins "All-Star" Team To Propose New Crew Exploration Vehicle
El Segundo CA (SPX) Apr 05, 2005 Wyle Laboratories, a provider of crew health support for space operations, has been added to Lockheed Martin's "all-star" team of aerospace companies to submit a proposal to design and build NASA's new Crew Exploration Vehicle. Wyle will be the exclusive source of expertise concerning crew health systems and operations. "We are looking forward to joining this highly qualified team and contributing to this vital project," said Bob Ellis, Wyle senior vice president and general manager of the company's Houston-based Life Sciences operation. Wyle is the prime contractor for NASA's Bioastronautics contract, which runs 10 years and is valued at approximately $1 billion. Wyle will capitalize on its unique capabilities and experience to provide clinical, engineering and operations expertise to optimize the Crew Exploration Vehicle design to protect crew health and performance during all phases of development and mission operations. Other members of Lockheed Martin's team include Orbital Sciences, EADS Space Transportation, United Space Alliance, Hamilton Sundstrand and Honeywell. The teaming of these premier aerospace companies reaches across two continents and builds upon their respective strengths and decades of experience in complex systems integration, innovation and advanced technology development, and operational reliability and performance. All these elements are vital to helping NASA achieve its goals of demonstrating a new Crew Exploration Vehicle by 2008 and reaching an operational capability by 2014.
