LinQuest focuses engineering domain expertise in satellite and launch vehicle systems and operations on the challenges of delivering a satellite safely to its desired orbit. As a former Launch Office Director was fond of saying, “the biggest risk to an SV, other than old age, is its booster”. LinQuest takes pride in our role in mitigating the launch risks of satellites critical to our national security through our launch integration, mission readiness and mission assurance services.
