Space-Related Technical Services

Our Technical Services Division (TSD) provides cost-effective engineering, production and technical management expertise primarily for space-related science and defense programs. Typically, we supply specialized personnel — engineers, scientists, technicians and other professionals — with specific knowledge in the areas that our customers are pursuing. These Orbital employees often work side-by-side with our customers' technical staff at their facilities. They perform a wide range of functions, from system-level efforts such as special payload equipment and training support for NASA's Hubble Space Telescope servicing missions to component-level tasks including development of high-energy microwave transmitters for the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.
