"Remote Sensing from Outer Space to the Factory Floor"
Thursday November 16, 2000
7:00 PM (dinner at 6:00 PM)
65 Jonspin Avenue, Wilmington
Systems Services Group, Inc.
Pre-registration Required: (978) 694-9991

The agenda will include video of general satellite technology, a slide
presentation of SSG programs, and a limited tour of the facilities at the
main plant. SSG programs include SBIRS-Hi (space-based early warning system),
Airborne Laser (tactical missile defense), Orbview (earth resource
monitoring), NEAR (mission to asteroid Eros), Deep Space One (mission to
Comet Borrelly), and MetriVision (remote industrial measurements).

SSG is a privately held corporation that designs, develops, prototypes and
manufactures high-performance, small to medium aperture optical systems for
spacecraft, aircraft, tactical systems and most recently, industrial
applications. It is a twenty-two year old, 200+ person organization with
several facilities in the Boston Metro area and gross sales of about $30
million last year.

Because much of the work at SSG is related to national security,
pre-registration of visitors is necessary. Anyone planning to attend this
meeting must contact Lee Wheeler at (978) 694-9991 so that a visitor badge
may be prepared in advance.
