U.S. Air Force Secretary Appeals To Lawmakers for More ORS-1 Funding

摘要

U.S. Air Force Secretary Michael Donley is urging Congress to boost funding in 2009 and 2010 for an Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) Office reconnaissance satellite that otherwise will fall behind schedule.rnDonley wrote House and Senate authorizers and appropriators July 21 asking for $28.1 million more than was appropriated for the ORS-1 satellite this year and $23.4 million more than the Air Force requested for the effort in 2010. The letters, copies of which were obtained by Space News, were sent to Sens.
