ATK-Iuka site of aero retrofit

Nova-Tech Engineering of Washington state has landed some aerospace work in Mississippi at a meeting June 15 with Orbital ATK executives at the Paris Air Show in France. The firm will do engineering “retrofit of the control hardware” for a rocket transporter at Orbital ATK's Iuka, Miss., plant. “They were able to more or less confirm that they are ready to go forward,” said Bill Bigot, Nova-Tech's VP of business development. Orbital ATK formed in February with the merger of Orbital Sciences Corp. and Alliant Techsystems Inc. Nova-Tech’s VP was to have met with two Airbus Group executives June 18 in Paris to discuss opportunities for work on the A320 family aircraft.
