Augsburg, February 9, 2017. MT Aerospace AG, a member of the European
space and technology group OHB SE (ISIN: DE0005936124, Prime Standard), has
been awarded further contracts by US space technology group Boeing for
additional development work on the Space Launch System (SLS). Commissioned
by the US space agency NASA, SLS is the most powerful super heavy lift
launch vehicle to date and will be used on manned and unmanned missions to
the moon, Mars and the depths of outer space.
MT Aerospace has been developing and fabricating large aluminum segments
for the propellant tanks fitted to the SLS main stage since mid- 2013. With
a diameter of 8.4 meters and a length of some 65 meters, these tanks hold
almost 900 tons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen and are 30% larger than the
external tank formerly attached to the Space Shuttle.
MT Aerospace has already delivered the components for the second flight
article SLS core stage at the beginning of April 2016. Thanks to this
successful project, the Augsburg-based space technology company has now
also been selected for the development of the upper stage dome components.
MT Aerospace has achieved gold ranking status as a reliable partner to
Boeing and has qualified as a baseline components supplier for all upcoming
SLS flights.
