Camarillo, CA and Rockledge, FL (December 13, 2021) – Saalex Corporation’s Expendable Launch Vehicle Integrated Support 3 (ELVIS 3) team is helping NASA and its partners prepare for the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), designed to succeed the Hubble Space Telescope as NASA’s top space observatory. With a diameter of more than 21 feet, the JWST will become the largest telescope mirror ever launched into orbit.

The launch is scheduled for December 22, 2021, from the European Space Agency’s Guiana Space Center in South America. The mission is an international collaboration that also includes ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency.

It is anticipated that the JWST will uncover previously unknown information about the universe's very beginnings. It will allow for a diverse range of astronomical and cosmological studies, including the observation of some of the universe's most distant events and objects, such as the birth of the earliest galaxies, and the precise atmospheric analysis of possibly habitable planets.

The ELVIS 3 team from Saalex is providing the JWST team with engineering, programmatic and technical support for the liftoff. This is the sixth space mission that ELVIS 3 has supported in 2021.

“This mission is a bit more challenging than the typical support we provide our launch customers, as it will take place in South America,” said Travis Mack, president and CEO, Saalex. “Despite that extra challenge, the Saalex ELVIS 3 team has performed flawlessly, and looks forward to a successful launch just before Christmas. After that, we can watch with pride as the Webb observatory makes groundbreaking discoveries about space, knowing we played an integral role in the mission. It is humbling to say the least.”

Camarillo, CA and Rockledge, FL (November 16, 2021) – Saalex Corporation’s launch team has been extremely busy this week, providing critical launch and flight support for two SpaceX missions. The Crew-2 Dragon module safely splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico Tuesday (November 9, 2021), ending the 199-day Crew-2 mission to the International Space Station. Last night, Saalex’s Expendable Launch Vehicle Integrated Support 3 (ELVIS 3) team also assisted with the launch of the Crew-3 module, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The ELVIS 3 team supported weather briefings, mission management team meetings and readiness reviews in preparation for last night’s launch. The support required for the missions was more involved than typical operations, as NASA and SpaceX decided to bring the Crew-2 mission home before launching the Crew-3. This required the teams to perform an unusual switch from a direct to an indirect ‘handover’, allowing the two mission milestones to occur so close to one another.

The Crew-3 and Crew-2 missions were the latest space flights that the ELVIS 3 team has supported this year, having assisted the Landsat 9 launch in September, and an April SpaceX mission to the International Space Station. The ELVIS 3 team provided engineering, programmatic and technical support for each of the launches.

“The Saalex team has shown it can support a very ambitious launch schedule, which is critical to maintain our nation’s leadership in the space domain,” said Travis Mack, president and CEO, Saalex. “As the number of commercial launch companies continues to grow, they can be confident that the ELVIS 3 team will be there to support their missions, no matter how busy the launch schedules get.”

Camarillo, CA and Rockledge, FL (November 29, 2021) – Saalex Corporation’s Expendable Launch Vehicle Integrated Support 3 (ELVIS 3) team will be assisting NASA’s launch of its Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), a space observatory that will scientists better understand black holes and neutron stars.

The launch is scheduled for December 9, 2021, from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Saalex support team will be providing NASA with engineering, programmatic and technical support for the liftoff. This is the fifth space launch that the Saalex ELVIS 3 team has participated in this year.

Through this two-year mission, scientists will be able to learn about some of the most unusual celestial objects in our universe. IXPE, a joint effort between NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, the Italian Space Agency and Ball Aerospace, will be looking at distant cosmic targets that include active nuclei, quasars, magnetars and black holes. It will also collect data on supernova remnants. It is hoped that this observatory will aid in the discovery of previously unknown physical processes and extraordinary celestial objects.

“It is tremendously rewarding for Saalex to be assisting with such historic space launches,” said Travis Mack, president and CEO, Saalex. “This mission will give mankind a better understanding of the distant reaches of space, and therefore, a better understanding of ourselves and our future in the cosmos. It is very humbling for the ELVIS 3 team to be a part of that effort.”
