A Jacobs-led ground systems engineering team will prepare the Orion spacecraft for final processing and fueling as a prerequisite to rocket integration activities of an upcoming lunar flight mission. The company said Tuesday its Exploration Ground Systems team received Orion on Saturday at Florida-based Kennedy Space Center to prepare the spacecraft for NASA's Artemis program.

Lockheed Martin has sent the Orion capsule to NASA’s exploration ground systems team for final preparations ahead of the unmanned Artemis I mission to lunar orbit that will launch later this year. The spacecraft concluded assembly operations and testing at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Boeing has wrapped up a critical design review for the exploration upper stage of a rocket built in support of NASA's Artemis I mission, and will now begin its transition to hardware build phase.

NASA has received the first Solid Rocket Booster segment for its Space Launch System and Jacobs has begun the stacking and integration of the system boosters at Kennedy Space Center in Florida in preparation for the agency's Artemis I mission.

Northrop Grumman has entered into an agreement with Lockheed Martin to provide additional abort system components for the Orion capsule that will be used for NASA’s subsequent Artemis missions to deep space.

An Ultra Electronics subsidiary has received a $31M order to supply software-defined tactical radio systems to the U.S. Marine Corps for line-of-sight communications. USMC ordered ORION X500 radios via a potential $497M indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract Ultra TCS secured last year, the company said Monday.

Lockheed Martin has partnered with Microsoft to use the latter’s mixed-reality collaboration tool to help engineers visualize procedures while assembling the Orion spacecraft for NASA’s Artemis II crewed mission to lunar orbit.

Lockheed Martin has selected Luna Innovations to provide sensors for monitoring the internal environment and external corrosion of the Orion spacecraft NASA will use to transport astronauts to deep-space destinations.

Aerojet Rocketdyne has fulfilled its task to produce hardware necessary for the propulsion of the rocket that would send a crewed Orion spacecraft around the moon as part of NASA's second Artemis mission. The company said Monday it completed the RL10 and RS-25 engines for the Space Launch System in support of Artemis II, the second integrated SLS-Orion flight and the first lunar flyby with crew.

Science Applications International Corp. has secured a potential five-year, $42M task order from the U.S. Army to develop, field and maintain a decision support system for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Boeing will incorporate an audio management system designed by Orbit Communications Systems into the U.S. Air Force’s T-7A Red Hawk pilot training suite.

Charles River Analytics has secured funds from the U.S. Army to create user interfaces designed to help tactical commanders process and visualize battlespace information from multiple data sources.
