Everett Eager To Add Money for T-Sat in 2009

摘要

The top Republican on the House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee said he may work to add funding to the U.S. Air Force's 2009 request for development of a new generation of laser-linked communications. Rep. Terry Everett (R-Ala.), said in a Feb. 29 interview that he plans to ask officials who will testify before the subcommittee March 5 whether the Pentagon's reduction to its planned budget request for the Transformational Satellite (T-Sat) Communications System will delay the launches of those satellites and cause problems for other military systems that had planned on using T-Sat to pass data.
