Curious about our projects? Since 1995 our research has contributed to dozens of space-related endeavors where data-integrity and robust design have been critical in getting research data back to Earth. From the Hubble Space Telescope to the Mars Surveyor, we've flown on more than two-dozen spacecraft.
