The premier small-business provider of secure COMSATCOM solutions to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), TrustComm Inc., has recently been acquired by Global Secure Networks Inc. (GSN), an American investor group, this according to TrustComm's announcement statement.
And though there will be changes, the TrustComm company name will be retained. Led by Bob Roe, TrustComm's CEO since March 2012, GSN's equity infusion is enabling TrustComm to expand its operations and continue its high level of professional service to U.S. government agencies.
TrustComm, from its secure teleport and network operations center (S-NOC) at Ellington Field Base in Houston, has successfully deployed a wide range of managed satellite networking solutions to many government agencies and commercial enterprises since 1999. And just recently, TrustComm opened its new corporate headquarters.

USAF contracts Ball Aerospace for risk reduction service on Weather Satellite Follow-on program
Ball Aerospace and Technologies has been chosen by the U.S Air force to provide risk reduction services on its next-gen of microwave sounding and imaging instruments for the Weather Satellite Follow-on program.
Under the terms of agreement, Ball Aerospace will examine and present the best measures to achieve the requirements of DND for measuring soil moisture and ocean surface vector winds using a microwave instrument tailor fitted for small, low-cost launch vehicles. This effort shares a heritage with the Global Precipitation Monitoring Microwave Imager (GMI) instrument, a machine that was also built by Ball Aerospace and delivered to NASA for the Global Precipitation Measurement mission.
Aside from GMI and microwave instruments, Ball Aerospace is also known for building the satellite bus and Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) instrument for the Suomi National Polar-orbiting satellite -- NOAA’s newest polar-orbiting satellite. Presently, the company is also working on the satellite bus and additional copy of OMPS for NOAA’s Joint Polar Satellite System.
