Russian Commission Begins Proton Investigation; ILS Forms Review Board
MCLEAN, Va. --(Business Wire)-- March 3, 2006 -- The Russian space
agency has announced the formation of a state commission to investigate
the anomaly this week that caused a Proton Breeze M vehicle to place the
ARABSAT 4A satellite into an incorrect orbit.
The commission stated its intention to complete the investigation by
March 30. The commission is led by Victor Remishevsky, deputy director
of the space agency, Roscosmos. Deputy chairmen are Yuri Bakhvalov,
first deputy general designer from Khrunichev, which built the Proton
vehicle and the Breeze M upper stage; and Alexander Chulkov, Roscosmos
director of payload deployment systems.
The launch on Wednesday was carried out under the auspices of
International Launch Services (ILS), a joint venture of Lockheed Martin
Corp. and Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center.
Independently of the Russian commission, ILS is forming a Failure Review
Oversight Board, which will be chaired by Eric Laursen, ILS vice
president and chief engineer. The oversight board is chartered to
independently review the methods, conclusions and corrective action
recommendations of the Russian state commission investigation and to
report on the findings. All oversight board activities will be subject
to relevant U.S. government regulations.
