International Corp. (NYSE: SAIC) and GomSpace Group AB (GOMX) today
signed a strategic partnership to provide government and commercial
customers in the Americas with new space-based mission capabilities
leveraging CubeSat's and SmallSats. This partnership combines
SAIC's expansive mission domain knowledge, engineering, software,
and integration capabilities, with GomSpace's spacecraft
technologies to achieve best-in-class solutions which can be
rapidly deployed. The partnership will also deliver system
elements such as software products, spacecraft components, fully
integrated spacecraft, reliable in-orbit services and mission
operations. SAIC becomes the exclusive U.S. integrator of GomSpace
satellites and licensed product distributor, services reseller and

The agreement, a Memorandum of Understanding, was signed at the
Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, by David Ray, SAIC Senior Vice President of Space,
and Frank Tobin, Executive Chairman

"I am delighted to enter into this strategic partnership with
SAIC", says Carsten Drachmann,
CEO of GomSpace, "SAIC is heavily investing in space
capabilities and systems integration for critical missions like
space domain awareness, autonomous rendezvous and proximity
operations, and in-orbit servicing, This in combination with
GomSpace's extensive flight heritage in the SmallSat market,
creates a very strong and competitive value proposition to both
commercial and government customers in the US and across the
Americas".
Both companies have made recent advancements in space
capability. SAIC is investing in a Space Systems Development Center
within its 300,000 square foot Integration Facility in Charleston, South Carolina. The facility will
perform payload, CubeSat, SmallSat, and launch rideshare
integration in a single continuous flow.
