Mission

The Advanced Manufacturing Branch provides a comprehensive set of mechanical services for aerospace applications. We provide GSFC with a multitude of sophisticated technology in support of the Agency’s research and development activities. 

Our services consist of (but not limited to): composite fabrication and assembly, multi axis high speed machining and turning, laser/CMM measurement systems, and CNC sheet-metal fabrication.

We also provide services ranging from conceptual ideas to detailed mechanical engineering designs, mission critical GSE, hi-fidelity mockups, and scaled rapid prototyping.

We provide the hands-on technical services for all aspects of spacecraft and instrument development for GSFC.

We provide our customers with the expertise and capabilities to design and manufacture state-of-the-art spaceflight hardware.

• Provide exceptional manufacturing, procurement, logistics, and quality assurance services to ensure mission success.
• Collaborate with engineers and scientists to conceive, design, produce and evaluate complex sensor, instrument and spacecraft components to ensure they will meet or exceed scientific performance goals.
• Incorporate the use of cutting-edge technologies and processes in the design and manufacture of spaceflight hardware to enable NASA’s flight programs to make awe-inspiring discoveries.
