I ka pau ʻole ʻana o nā misionari Orbiting Carbon Observatory a me Glory o NASA i ka makahiki 2009 a me 2011, ʻo ia hoʻi, ua hoʻopiʻi ke kikowaena kikowaena i ka hiki ʻole ke hana ʻole ʻia o ka kaʻa hoʻokuʻu ʻo Orbital ATK's Taurus XL.
Ma hope o kēia, ua hana nā loea mai ka ʻoihana hana a me NASA i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka fairing rocket, akā, e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia i kēia manawa, ʻaʻole loa ke kumu ma muli o kāna mau hemahema.
Ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi e ka NASA's Launch Services Program (LSP) ʻo ke kumu o nā ʻāpana alumini hewa i hoʻolako ʻia e Sapa Profiles ma Oregon.
Ua ʻike ʻia ka hoʻokolokolo ʻana i kahi hoʻolālā hoʻopunipuni 19 makahiki i hoʻomohala ʻia e ka mea hana kiʻi alumini ʻo Sapa Profiles, ka mea i manaʻo ʻia ʻo Orbital ATK.
Ua ʻike ʻo LSP, me ka Office of Inspector General (NASA OIG) a me ka US Department of Justice, ua hoʻopunipuni ʻo Sapa Profiles i nā hopena hoʻokolohua koʻikoʻi ma ka alumini i hoʻolako ʻia no 19 mau makahiki. Ua hāʻawi nā limahana ʻo Sapa Profiles i nā palapala hōʻoia huahana hoʻopunipuni i nā mea kūʻai aku, me nā ʻaelike aupuni. ʻO ke kumu ponoʻī o ka hui ʻo ka ʻimi ʻana i ka loaʻa kālā, a me ka pono e hūnā i ka maikaʻi ʻole o kāna mau huahana alumini, ʻoiai ua uku ʻia kāna mau limahana me nā bonus hana no ka hālāwai ʻana i nā hoʻouna.
Ma muli o ka hoʻokolokolo ʻana, ʻo Hydro Extrusion Portland, Inc., i kapa ʻia ʻo Sapa Profiles, e koi ʻia e uku i $46 miliona iā NASA, ka US Department of Justice a me nā hui ʻē aʻe.
ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka $ 700 miliona NASA i nalowale i ka hāʻule ʻana o ka misionari, akā ma ka liʻiliʻi loa ua hiki i nā luna ke hoʻopaʻa i ka SPI no kāna mau hana. Eia hou, ma ka lā 30 o Kepakemapa, 2015, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Sapa Profiles/Hydro Extrusion mai ka ʻaelike aupuni a ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hana ʻoihana me ke aupuni federal.
