Spacecraft Fabrication Facility

Spacecraft Fabrication Facility

Spacecraft Fabrication Facility Goddard technicians and engineers manufacture components used for spacecraft assembly. This includes the tools which the astronauts use in space as well as the spacecraft themselves.

The Mission Engineering and Systems Analysis Branch is broken up in to seven smaller branches:

GN&C Systems Engineering Branch

Systems Engineering Services and Advanced Concepts Branch

Flight Dynamics Analysis Branch

Component Hardware Systems Branch

Propulsion Branch - The Propulsion branch is responsible for the spacecraft propulsion subsystems design, fabrication, anaylsis, integration, testing, propellant loading, and launch. LRO is one of the current missions. I&T Engineer Gregory Thomas Coll is on the LRO project.

GN&C Mission Systems Engineering Branch
