Exploration & Mission Support

Leidos designs, develops, implements, operates, maintains, and sustains mission control and training systems in support of Human Space Flight (HSF). Our backend work is enabling NASA standard infrastructure, uninterrupted operations, and role-based security authentication. With expertise in ground command and control and telemetry disciplines, we also develop, support, and maintain large-scale satellite command and control systems. Our most recent system has delivered 2 million+ lines of code to support the International Space Station and all visiting vehicles.

With engineering expertise in a variety of disciplines, Leidos supports instrument and spacecraft programs with systems design, systems engineering, development, fabrication, integration, testing, and verification of space flight, airborne, and ground systems hardware and software. Space agencies turn to us when they need concepts of mission operations and in-space satellite servicing capabilities.

Leidos supports the health, safety and productivity of crews living and working in space through the delivery of medical services, food services, research, technology development, engineering, operations, and flight hardware development. Our team was integral in the planning, analysis, and science associated with the “Year in Space” initiative recently completed by NASA.

Leidos sustains a deep bench of scientific and engineering resources to help our customers solve their most challenging problems in engineering design, analysis, development, testing, and operations. Key skill areas include propulsion, materials, thermal, structural, aero-sciences, avionics and electrical systems, guidance navigation and flight control, flight and ground software, optics, systems engineering, test and validation, human centered design, and life sciences.
