Nor is ORBCOMM doing any “audio, video, and Internet services”; they do the sat version of SMS. Looks like you’re 0-for-2. Maybe do a little more research before posting another allegation?

I don’t see evidence that the company was doing anything beyond “pursuing” opportunities. The report indicates that search warrants were executed only 20 days after the letter was dated and that the alleged plan didn’t go any further.

This is from NASA’s website, about Orbital being awarded a launch services contract in September. June would be about the right time frame to try to influence that. And they also have a Satellite comm’s venture (ObrCom). They do solids as well, so I think we have another potential perp. Anyone know it that contract involved the luka plant?

The encounter with Jefferson took place in 2005, but Rocketplane didn’t buy Kistler until early 2006. Before Rocketplane bought Kistler there’s little reason they’d be interested in the Iuka plant or anything at Michoud, since they were pretty much committed to Okla. Gotta think it’s someone else.

The only thing going on there except for shuttle ET was the Kistler K1. Hmmm. Seems to me the owner of RpK also has a sattelite communications venture. SatCom or something like that. The RpK building in Oklahoma city says Rocketplane on one side, and SatCom on the other. Could this be the mysterious “Company H”?

The earlier Jerfferson indictments always identified the state of incorporation and HQ of each of the Companies A-G. I would be interested in seeing where Company H was headquartered.
