Supporting Special Operations

Ground Operations Launch Integration Space Architecture Small Satellite Development Space Domain Awareness Mission Solutions

Ground Operations

Parsons Ground Operations Center As A Service

Through the Parsons Ground Operations Center as a Service (GOCaaS), we perform satellite contacts using the OrbitXchange network. GOCaaS is a 24/7 operations capcity consisting of hardware, software, spacecraft operators, power backup, and redundant hardware. This includes next-pass anomaly contact scheduling capabilities and automated contact optimization with built-in cybersecurity, reducing the cost of satellite ground operations. GOCaaS ensures telemetry tracking and command (TT&C) and mission data delivery to a single data lake or customer operations center. It also guarantees near real-time space situational awareness for each constellation.

Launch Integration

Launch Manifest Systems Integration

We’re the prime contractor for the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) small satellite integration efforts through our Launch Manifest Systems Integration program with the US Air Force. Our first launch integration was successfully completed in August 2019 on the ULA Atlas V. The integration—from concept to delivery—took a record five months compared to te years other space operations normally take.

Space Architecture

We’re leading the architecture protection for the development arm of the US Space Force. Our expertise with network security, architecture resiliency, and continuous Authority to Operate practices are key to network infrastructure-protection strategies. We have years of experience with cloud engineering, cloud architecture, and refactoring legacy systems operating efficiently in the cloud. Significant cost savings of up to 87 percent are achieved over running applications on dedicated bare metal.

Small Satellite Development

We’re a proven provider in small satellite development, with over a decade of experience advancing missions in the Intelligence Community. Our team is actively producing small satellite sensor payloads, defining superior engineering skills with miniaturization and digital circuit printing techniques.

Space Domain Awareness

Battlespace Awareness And The Space Domain

For the past three decades, we’ve been leading the Space Domain Awareness mission for the US Government and allied partners. Our subject matter experts can develop and field customized tools for the mission, supporting multiple applications. They achieve this through highly detailed analysis, decision support systems, machine learning algorithms, and visualization capabilities. Software engineers and developers stand ready to support future Space Domain Awareness and threat protection missions. They face a wide variety of operational challenges to the space ecosystem, including direct-ascent anti-satellite (ASAT), co-orbital ASAT, directed energy weapons, missile warning threat applications, and satellite breakup notification/alerting. Additional challenges are space object characterization, space order of battle, pin-point orbit determination, satellite propagation/conjunction, course-of-action planning/assessment, and space domain visualization.

Mission Solutions

We provide end-to-end customized mission solutions to meet customer needs in the rapidly evolving space domain. We have decades of experience supporting over 170 space missions. Our capabilities enable operations for 50 percent of US DoD satellites and 75 percent of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) satellites. The team’s expertise in satellite command and control, ground systems, and operations leverages the full operational potential of warfighting in the space domain. From prototypes to global constellations, our solutions support mission success by including all components necessary for complete satellite ground implementations.
