ASRC Aerospace Teams with Analex Corporation in Support of NASA Glenn Research Center

ASRC Aerospace is the prime support service contractor for the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio.

ASRC supports the Glenn Engineering and Scientific Services (GESS-2) contract which is an IDIQ engineering performance-based Task Order contract. Approximately two hundred and fifty technical service personnel are provided in support of over 200 technical tasks orders. Task responsibilities include systems engineering, analysis, design engineering, hardware and software development, fabrication procurement, configuration management, flight hardware integration, and testing of both Space and Aeronautic related tasks.

ASRC engineers have supported a variety of hardware designs and integrations including build-ups, testing and/or modifications to various test cells at NASA/GRC.

These test cells are used to support a wide range of aeronautics, space exploration, and microgravity research investigations occurring at NASA/GRC. Examples include Space propulsion and vehicle design, Lunar Rover design and testing, microgravity drop tower tests, high speed inlet tests, research combustor tests, turbine compressor facility tests, and structural dynamics laboratory testing. Our engineering staff provides support during the entire lifecycle of a project including development, design, build, verification and validation of installed hardware.
