Making a Difference in Space
Engineering solutions for non-profit, industry, federally-funded research organizations and government partners (NASA, NOAA, FAA) related to non-defense federal aerospace programs, including legacy and “new” space efforts.
What We Do
- Stellar Solutions’ important work in human exploration programs and advanced technology development is helping NASA explore new frontiers in space. We are developing the crew vehicles, gateways and landers that will enable astronauts and resources to return to the Moon and eventually to Mars.
- Some of Stellar Solutions’ noble scientific endeavors use remote sensing satellites and space telescopes to study our earth from new vantage points, better predict dangerous weather patterns, and explore the origins of the universe –such as the dark matter and energy that make up >90% of our expanding universe.
- Stellar Solutions leads challenges for scientific and technology innovation by partnering with industry, academia, and the public via the Center for Excellence for Collaborative Innovation (COECI) at NASA.
- Stellar Solutions leads mission definition and operations activities as well as development and systems engineering for missions and instruments related to Earth science, Heliophysics, and Planetary science.
- Stellar leads the effort in developing international satellite communication standards for North American and European aircraft to more safely and efficiently traverse land and ocean routes.
