SynopsisOrbital Express is a case study for universities, business schools, and companies wishing to study the actual development process of a new product - in this case a small satellite launch vehicle - and all the trials and tribulations associated with initiating such a project. Using actual company documentation, this study traces the co-operative attempt by the joint venture of International MicroSpace and Bristol Aerospace to build a small launch vehicle. It covers both the technology and business aspects of the project.
