Since the cryogenically cooled infrared sensor was operating until February of this year and BMDO was utilizing the satellite, there was not an opportunity for NASA to use this spacecraft. Given that NASA and BMDO have already signed a memorandum of agreement for the cooperative exploitation of environmental data from MSX, and that BMDO has identified that there will be over 50 percent availability of MSX for other users, the timing seems perfect for the utilization of MSX by NASA.
