Explanation

•  Schedule: The difference is a result of delays specifically associated with the Certification and subsequent FOC for Interim Anchoring Capability - now scheduled for Q4 2011.

•  Cost: The main cost component of the project, the WGS 6 satellite, is more than half complete and is forecast to be produced under budget.

•  Requirement: Three satellites are in orbit and all are being used operationally providing a known understanding of the capability to be provided by the constellation.

•  Operations and Support: Interim Anchoring will enter service and provide operational capability later than expected.
