The Virginia Commercial Spaceflight Authority has awarded Command and Control Technologies Corporation (CCT) a contract for the modifications to Pad-0A at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, Wallops Island Virginia.  CCT will design and implement pad modifications to support the new Northrop Grumman A330 launch vehicle and the new Firefly/Northrop Medium Launch Vehicle (MLV).  CCT will update pad control hardware and software to process the new configurations.

The Pad-0A Universal Ground Control System (UGCS) is based on CCT’s Command and Control Toolkit^TM product line and provides highly automated procedures for critical functions including vehicle fueling, cryogenic handling, high pressure gases, transporter erector supervisory control, and electrical ground Support equipment.  Designed to be readily adaptable to new requirements, the UGCS provides a flexible environment for multi-vehicle processing and rapid response operations.
