The Software Engineering Division (SED) is responsible for the engineering of software and information systems throughout all phases (formulation through on-orbit operations) of NASA programs and projects. These systems include: flight, ground, and science data software for spacecraft monitoring, control, on-orbit performance management and operations; spacecraft data processing and analysis, and information management; and science data analysis and management.

The SED focuses on the development of reusable flight and ground architectures and frameworks to reduce mission cost, decrease development time, minimize customer risk, and increase the scientific value of information products. The SED provides expertise in software systems engineering, secure environments, and the software product development lifecycle to ensure the delivery of reliable software and information systems solutions.
