The Lockheed staff on the Ikonos program waits with baited breath as we approach the end of March reaching the previously stated deadline for formal 90-day notification of Task Order 2 termination (Operations). Practically speaking, the timeline for sustaining operations would seem to extend well beyond that with only one qualified DG operator trained, 1 well along and 3 others just starting. But DigitalGlobe has been known to meet Ikonos deadlines regardless of the practical implications before. So the consensus is next week our operators should expect to be told they are being let go as of 30 June.
