Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
      On June 7, 2007, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of Orbital Sciences Corporation (the “Company”) took action with respect to certain compensation to be paid to Mr. James R. Thompson, the Company’s Vice Chairman, President and Chief Operating Officer. In connection with Mr. Thompson’s travel between the Company’s Huntsville, Alabama and Dulles, Virginia offices, the Company has reimbursed Mr. Thompson his travel expenses (including expenses related to airfare, lodging, car rental and meals). In connection with such reimbursement, Mr. Thompson incurred certain federal and state income tax obligations (the “Tax Obligations”). In order to reimburse Mr. Thompson for the Tax Obligations, the Committee approved an aggregate payment of approximately $206,000 to Mr. Thompson (which amount includes a tax gross-up related to such payment). The Committee also authorized the Company to reimburse Mr. Thompson for travel and related expenses he incurs in connection with his future travel between Huntsville and Dulles. To the extent such reimbursement is reported as taxable income, it will be grossed-up for taxes, commencing in the calendar year 2007 and continuing thereafter.
