	Hughes Aircraft
		Hughes' most famous aircraft was an oversized wooden seaplane nicknamed the "Spruce Goose." The idea for a fleet of such planes was conceived in 1942 by shipbuilder Henry J. Kaiser, whose Liberty ships had become targets for German U-boats.
		Hughes formed the Hughes Space and Communications Company in 1961 as part of Hughes Aircraft from its earlier Space and Communications Group and the Hughes Space Systems Division.
		Hughes Space and Communications continued building satellites until it was purchased by Boeing in 2000 and became Boeing Satellite Systems.

	C-SPAN: Report on Chinese Espionage
		HSC [Hughes] identified that the LV [launch vehicle] clamp band was not seated correctly during flight, owing to slippage possibly caused by vibrations and the use of a lubricant on the band.
		HSC [Hughes] identified Chinese TLM analysis as deficient in several areas: the Chinese did not identify LV [launch vehicle] trajectory corrections due to wind shear effects; incorrectly interpreted accelerometer data; failed to identify a probable anomaly with the clamp band; and missed a probable fault with the PLF venting process.
		Hughes, on the other hand, insisted from the outset of the investigation that there were problems, and provided the technical analyses to support their claims.

	C-SPAN: Report on Chinese Espionage
		Hughes investigated the causes of both of these failed launches and determined that the rocket was the cause of the failures.
		Hughes was confident that the cause of the 1992 launch failure on the PRCís Long March 2E rocket was the fairing.
		In particular, Hughes assisted the PRC in correcting the deficiencies in its models of the stresses or loads (such as buffeting and wind shear) that the rocket and payload experience during flight.

	Space Today Online: Stories Of Orbiting Space Satellites
		Hughes engineers decided to use a "slingshot" technique in May 1998 to blast the crippled communications satellite out and around the Moon to correct its orbit around Earth.
		Hughes orbital engineers devised the novel mission to salvage the satellite, using lunar gravity to improve the resulting orbit once the satellite returned to Earth.
		Hughes said the satellite was fully functional and capable of covering more than a quarter of the Earth at any time.

	Boeing: Background
		Hughes designed and built the world's first synchronous communications satellite, Syncom, which was launched in 1963.
		Hughes is building the next generation Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) for NASA which will relay communications to and from the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station.
		Hughes now is a subcontractor on the Milstar program, providing elements for the satellites' electronic payloads, as well as a prime contractor to develop an engineering model of an advanced EHF payload for the Air Force.

	1998 DOD Report On Hughes & Commerce Dept.
		Hughes' satellite and fairing debris analysis, much of which was shared with the Chinese, determined that the satellite fuel tanks had ruptured in a manner that suggested the satellite structure had collapsed on its fuel tanks.
		Hughes also presented the results of the analysis to show the Chinese that the launch vehicle and satellite were designed to comfortably withstand the flight loads, but that the oversimplified Chinese Coupled Loads Analysis failed to account for- windshear and buffeting loads on the fairing.
		Hughes clearly was concerned about the serious flaws in Chinese modeling and analysis of aerodynamic loads on the launch vehicle fairing.

	Spaceflight Now \| Breaking News \| Boeing wraps up $3.75 billion Hughes acquisition
		Hughes Electronics Corporation's space and communications division -- Hughes Space and Communications (HSC) -- is one of the largest builders of satellites and related systems.
		Also involved in the transaction were Hughes Electron Dynamics, an electronics provider for satellites, Spectrolab, a builder of solar power components for spacecraft, and a share of HRL Laboratories, a research center operated together with Raytheon.
		Jim Albaugh, president of Boeing's space and communications department that includes both the launching and new satellite-manufacturing divisions, said that industry projections predict that the space and communications market will undergo a growth period throughout the next decade.

	The Cox Report - Satellite Launches in the PRC: Hughes
		Should [Hughes] elect to submit a license application on this subject we recommend that (a) all the technical data to be transferred be precisely stated and (b) detailed rationale be included to counter all potential arguments that the data could in some way enhance PRC ballistic missile capabilities.
		Hughes claims that the Defense Technology Security Administration was not present at the insurance briefing because it chose not to attend.
		Hughes agreed to modify the interface adapter, and the PRC agreed to strenghten the fairing and enhance the monitoring of high altitude wind conditions.

	2002 State Dept. Charge Letter to Hughes
		Hughes already is employing designs for its geosynchronous mobile satellite systems that include antennas exceeding 30 feet in diameter commercial use.
		Faced with these developments in USC policy, Hughes had in the interim redefined the second APSTAR satellite based on its 601 series and, in the interim (November 1993), sought and received approval for the export of this satellite from the Department of Commerce.
		This made it extremely clear that it is time for Hughes to either "put up or shut up" in regard to meeting their (sic) previously stated commitment of transferring technology to China.

	The Space Review: From chaos, a new order
		The tradeoff, again, is time: the direct approach gets the spacecraft to the Moon in four days, while the weak stability transfer trajectory, which sends the spacecraft out to a distance of 1.5 million kilometers from the Earth, takes 98 days to reach lunar orbit.
		Chaotic dynamics might also explain the propagation of life from solar system to solar system through a process called “lithopanspermia”, where rock fragments bearing primitive life are blown off the surface of one world, such as in an asteroid impact, and transported to another.
		He and Rex Ridenoure first suggested to Hughes in January 1998 that the spacecraft could be sent around the Moon and brought back to GEO using only the propellant onboard the spacecraft.
