ETD Electrical Engineering Division
EED | Code 560
Paving the way for exploration
The Electrical Engineering Division’s (EED) vision is leading the world in aerospace electrical engineering innovation to pioneer new scientific discoveries using innovative hardware supporting missions from sounding rockets to spaceflight missions.
EED provides expert leadership in the design, development and testing of flight electrical/electronic systems and associated technologies for GSFC and NASA missions. Electronics developed by EED engineers reach across the solar system from Earth, to the Moon, and several other planets providing valuable data leading to exciting scientific discoveries and helping to pave the way for human exploration of the Solar System to connect us to world beyond our own.
