Solving the Challenges of

For more than 70 years, Jacobs engineers, technicians and scientists have provided integrated solutions to help solve the complex challenges of space exploration. With a global web of resources and more than 5,000 employees supporting multiple NASA centers, other government users and industry partners around the United States, the Jacobs team is able to stay steps ahead to provide advanced engineering, research and operations support.

We invent by imagining what is possible. Launch Support International Space Station Innovative As prime contractor for NASA’S Exploration Ground Systems Program Jacobs is providing technical leadership and support to NASA’s Space Jacobs supports cargo delivery to the International Space Station at , Jacobs is responsible for the development Launch System Program in the areas of vehicle systems engineering and (ISS) for NASA under the Commercial Resupply Services contract at Solutions and operations of flight vehicle components, including integration, integration; flight software development; avionics systems integration; Kennedy Space Center, coordinating logistics of launch payloads in processing, testing, launch and recovery. The Jacobs team has helped lab construction and operation; vehicle structural load development; concert with commercial cargo platforms such as Northrup Grumman for Driving NASA to modernize and upgrade facilities and ground equipment at structural, propulsion and acoustic testing; and design, development Cygnus, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency HTV. The Jacobs KSC to prepare for the launch of the Space Launch System (SLS) and and analysis. The Jacobs team also designs and oversees development teams at both Kennedy and have the crew vehicle in support of the , which aims to and test of the Ground Support Equipment required to transport, test, expertise to manage the life cycle of technical and scientific payloads Launch, put humans on the by 2024. Examples of this work includes and operate the massive SLS flight hardware on the ground. bound for the ISS, from concept formulation to operational systems upgrades to the 6-million pound crawler transporter, the 580-foot-tall integration. They can develop and maintain flight hardware used for Flight and mobile launcher and 39B. The launch team is now Orion experiments, coordinate with scientists to prepare and process completing development of the spaceport command and control Jacobs is part of the team of engineers supporting development and experiments, and develop on-orbit crew procedures and plans to Mission system software, and is starting to process flight hardware for the construction of NASA’s Orion crew capsule, which is built for long- support the science. At the Marshall Space Flight Center, Jacobs launch of SLS and Orion. The Jacobs team also provides technical duration, human-rated missions to the moon and into deep space. team members develop, manufacture and test components of the Success and engineering support to a variety of commercial space companies, Jacobs is providing critical engineering, fabrication and testing of ISS Environmental Control and Life Support System, as well as support including , , , and Orion’s vital systems to validate strict reliability guidelines that will materials science experiment design, development and fabrication.
