Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corporation announced that NASA had selected the company to build two spacecraft for the Space Technology 3 (ST-3) Mission, part of NASA's New Millenium Program. The contract, valued at US$50 million, covered the development and manufacture of the two spacecraft as well as the integration and testing of completed systems. NASA planned for the two spacecraft, flying 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers) apart, to demonstrate interferometry, simulating a single large telescope. NASA's JPL was responsible for developing the interferometer and formation-flying sensing technologies, as well as for managing the mission.
