STEC

ASRC Software Engineers, Systems Engineers, and Orbital Analysts support and participate in the total life cycle evolutionary process of supporting new military and nationally important spacecraft and space technologies. Our highly skilled staff work with Air Force planners and engineers in the areas of requirements analysis, design reviews, testing and validation, and sustainment.
In addition to the life cycle flow participation, ASRC engineers are directly involved in leading and supporting space systems Interoperability (using Air Force systems test various data formats and protocols), CRSS (using commercial networks to support military space vehicles for emergency situations), and VMOC (a web-based mission operations complex system). ASRC engineers support critical stand-alone R&D projects such as the Defensive Counter space Test Bed (DTB) and the follow on to DTB (operational phase) Interim Satellite as a Sensor (ISAS). We are involved in requirements analysis, design, development, and testing of these systems.
Senior ASRC engineers mentor junior engineers in all aspects of project management including planning, analyzing requirements, testing, budgeting, and risk management.
ASRC engineers perform all documentation services associated with cradle to grave mission readiness and project management for government projects.
ASRC engineers support on-going maintenance of vehicle specific databases and Mission Unique Software. Engineers are on call to respond as necessary.
ASRC engineers support ISO and CMMI efforts on the STEC 2004 contract. In fact, ASRC employees are key leads in the areas of Software Development, Mission Planning, Mission Readiness, Testing, and the System Architecture.

EDS

ASRC Software Engineers, Systems Engineers, and Orbital Analysts support and participate in the total ASRC Aerospace is a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin Mission Systems, who is responsible for systems engineering, software development/sustainment, operations, and maintenance services in support of the SMC/TEO mission. ASRC Aerospace provides systems engineering and software engineering support at the RDT&E Support Complex (RSC), located at Kirtland Air Force Base and the Center for Research Support (CERES) facility located at Schriever Air Force Base. ASRC performs services in support of satellite ground control systems and facilities, mission equipment, and related peripheral equipment. The systems and equipment are used for mission planning, orbit management, satellite commanding, data collection and processing, training, data distribution (real-time and non-real-time), and other aspects of space systems operations. At the RSC, ASRC has worked with Lockheed Martin to design, develop and procure improvements to C3 systems in support of various R&D satellite programs. ASRC provides systems engineering, systems administration, and network engineering in support of the evaluation of various COTS command and control systems at the CERES facility. The CERES facility is used as a key test bed for the implementation and evaluation of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) within the AFSCN environment. ASRC’s system administration and hardware integration personnel at CERES troubleshoot problems, maintain licenses, create user accounts, perform backups, upgrade the operating systems, install software and software patches, and configure and maintain the various platforms that are brought in to the CERES facility. ASRC system engineers coordinate all activities on the systems with the operations crew. They also coordinate any visits by supporting vendors. ASRC personnel at CERES help provide emergency 24X7 support to the operations team during normal duty hours and by pager during off-hours including weekends.
