LANHAM, Md., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Integral Systems, Inc. , today announced a new contract with an unnamed satellite operator for command and control systems based on Integral Systems’ EPOCH IPS (Integrated Product Suite) to support an SS/L (Space Systems Loral) 1300 satellite platform. This contract marks the 32nd 1300 platform supported by Integral Systems’ EPOCH IPS product line. This includes all variations of the 1300 platform, including SS/L’s latest implementation that combines low thrust electrical and standard chemical propulsion.
