The NRL Naval Center for Space Technology (NCST) successfully completed and operated a low-cost advanced propulsion spacecraft designed for the precision orbital transfer of small satellites. This Upper Stage (U/S) launched on a Boeing Delta II from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Florida, in June 2006 and completed the transfer and release of two experimental small satellites. NRL engineers operated the spacecraft from the NRL Blossom Point (BP) Mission Operations Center in southern Maryland.
