FLIGHT SPACECRAFT Clause Samples
The "FLIGHT SPACECRAFT" clause defines the terms and conditions related to the use, handling, or delivery of spacecraft that are intended for actual flight missions, as opposed to test or ground-based units. This clause typically specifies requirements for the quality, configuration, and acceptance criteria of spacecraft that will be launched or operated in space, and may address issues such as risk allocation, liability, and performance standards unique to flight hardware. Its core practical function is to ensure that both parties clearly understand the expectations and responsibilities associated with flight-ready spacecraft, thereby reducing ambiguity and managing the risks inherent in space missions.
FLIGHT SPACECRAFT. The Contractor shall deliver two (2) flight Spacecraft meeting the performance requirements defined in Exhibit A, Spacecraft Performance Specifications. If ordered, an optional third spacecraft shall be furnished meeting the same performance requirements. The Spacecraft shall be designed, manufactured, and in-plant tested. Two of the Spacecraft, [***] shall be launched, in-orbit tested, and delivered to their respective Designated Orbital Positions, fully operational as defined in the Contract. The third (Spacecraft shall be delivered to storage.
FLIGHT SPACECRAFT. This Statement of Work relates principly to the design, development, manufacture, test and delivery of three (3) identical spacecraft for the Inmarsat Inmarsat-4 programme. The Contractor shall deliver to Inmarsat three complete spacecraft fulfilling all specifications defined in Annex B to the Contract, entitled Technical Specifications and Operational Requirements, compatible with a minimum of two launch vehicles and including propellants etc. as specified in this Statement of Work. It should be assumed that all three satellites shall be delivered to the designated launch sites in accordance with the following schedule, defined in number of months after EDC. The nominal system level schedule margins to be provided by the Contractor at EDC are as follows: PFM: Service Module Delivery: **** Communications Module Delivery: **** Spacecraft Delivery: **** FM2: Service Module Delivery: **** Communications Module Delivery: **** Spacecraft Delivery: **** FM3: Service Module Delivery: **** Communications Module Delivery: **** Spacecraft Delivery: **** The nominal AIT schedule durations proposed by the Contractor are as follows: PFM Service Module AIT **** Communication Module **** Satellite AIT **** FM2 Service Module AIT **** Communication Module **** Satellite AIT **** FM3 Service Module AIT **** Communication Module **** Satellite AIT **** Inmarsat may require the third satellite be delivered to storage should the first two spacecraft be launched successfully.
FLIGHT SPACECRAFT. The Contractor shall deliver three (3) flight Spacecraft meeting the performance requirements defined in Exhibit A, Spacecraft Performance Specifications. The Spacecraft shall be designed, manufactured, and in-plant tested. Two of the Spacecraft, [****] shall be launched, in-orbit tested, and delivered to their respective Specified Orbital Positions, fully operational as defined in the Contract. The third Spacecraft shall be launched to an orbital slot +/-10 DEG. from 85 DEG. West orbital slot*. * XM 3 orbital location to be modified upon agreement to scope of collocation effort.
FLIGHT SPACECRAFT. The Contractor shall deliver one (1) flight Spacecraft (XM-4) meeting the performance requirements defined in Exhibit A2, XM-4 Spacecraft Performance Specifications. If ordered, an optional spacecraft (XM-5) shall be furnished meeting the same performance requirements, except as specifically identified. The Spacecraft shall be designed, manufactured, and in-plant tested. The Spacecraft shall be delivered to the designated launch site as detailed in the Contract or to storage as directed by the Customer.
