RAMOS
Russian American Observational Satellites
RAMOS, an international cooperative program with the Russian Federation under
the MDA-sponsored UARC contract, was planned as a two-satellite constellation
that would operate in approximately the same plane and altitude of around 500
kilometers. In February 2004, MDA announced it was bringing the RAMOS program
to an early closure due to lack of progress on finalizing a Government-to-Government
agreement, followed by a termination order in August.
SDL, as the prime contractor for the RAMOS program, oversaw development activities
for the US and Russian engineering teams. SDL is working through the termination
procedures for both US and Russian subcontractor teams, and identifying accomplished
efforts that could be used in other US-Russian follow-on cooperative efforts.
