LOS ANGELES and WASHINGTON — The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) has awarded an array of contracts for the Phoenix program, which aims to demonstrate the salvage and reuse of components, such as antennas, from dead satellites. The cost-saving concept is based on creating new space resources by repurposing equipment already in geosynchronous orbit. To demonstrate the scheme, Darpa plans to piggyback payload orbital delivery system (PODS) devices on a sample commercial communications satellite in 2015-16.
Delta Air Lines' plan to purchase its own oil refinery in Philadelphia is advancing. “We expect to have the refinery up and running in mid-2013. We are in the process of making capital investments, and we expect returns in 2013-–not huge, but it’s a start,” Delta TechOps Engine and Component Maintenance Managing Director David Garrison said yesterday at the Joint Propulsion Conference in Atlanta. The refinery will be operated for Delta by BP and has the capacity to refine 185,000 barrels per day of which 15,000 barrels will be jet fuel.
