Executive Comments Orbital Sciences was founded over 25 years ago with the following mission: "making space technology more affordable, accessible and useful to millions of people on Earth". At the time of the company founding, the Aerospace industry was dominated by large, bureaucratic and expensive Defense conglomerates . Orbital's founder and CEO, David W. Thompson, believed that reliable, simpler systems could be made with a core team of dedicated and experienced engineers. From this simple idea, one of the world's premiere satellite designs was created. Vice President Christopher W. Richmond talks the growth of his company and the market for small GEO satellites.
