Our R&D portfolio investigates fundamental technologies for sustainable human spaceflight
We stay current with NASA forecasts and chair space architecture sessions at conferences, ensuring we remain at the forefront of industry developments. Through continuous monitoring of NASA acquisition forecasts and gap analysis via the NASA Human Research Program and budget assessments, we conduct targeted internal research. This approach has built our comprehensive understanding of both technical integration and commercial value, expertise we leverage in strategic client work.
