Now that I think of it, is there such a company elsewhere? (I guess the PLA, it you consider it a "company"...)

(I guess the PLA, it you consider it a "company"...)Martin Marietta [...] build some spacecraft launched on Titans - namely the Viking Landers and the classified LACROSSE radar satellite. I think McDonnell Douglas built the Delta 180 and Delta Star payloads launched in the 1980s for SDIO on Deltas. And GD/Convair in San Diego built the USAF OV1 research satellites in the 1960s launched on GD/Convair Atlas missiles.

I didn't know about the GD OV1 but I certaily knew - but forgot - the Martin spacecraft.
Oh cool! It's been a long time since a Pegasus mission
Seems orbital is live on the ELV stream channel 1:
