“ Originally named Steeplechase Drive, the street was renamed in 2011 at the request of the company. The managers at Orbital were avid fans of Star Trek and wanted an address that reflected that. They asked the Loudoun County supervisors to rename their street after the warp drive that allows ships in the Star Trek universe to travel faster than light. The supervisors voted unanimously to make it so (several of them while using catchphrases associated with the franchise).” - Wikipedia

Orbital was known for launching rockets into space and has since been acquired by Northrop Grumman.
