Spacecraft Development & Integration

At General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, our legacy of engineering excellence includes the design and development of high-performance satellites for the Department of Defense, NASA, and commercial customers. These include the GeoEye-1 commercial imaging satellite for GeoEye, Inc.; the Swift gamma-ray observatory and Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope for NASA; Coriolis and the Communication/Navigation Outage Forecasting Systems (C/NOFS) for the DoD Space Test Program; and the Near Field Infrared Experiment (NFIRE) for the Missile Defense Agency.

Using our cost-effective Accommodating Bus™ manufacturing process, we can quickly produce a spacecraft custom-tailored to a specific payload or mission. This approach has yielded a 100% on-orbit success rate for our customers’ diverse and challenging space applications.
