The next generation space suit
Collins Aerospace designed the first space suit that allowed astronauts to walk on the moon, as well as the suit NASA astronauts currently use when operating outside the International Space Station. And when astronauts return to the moon, they can use new Collins-built space suits that are more mobile, easier to maintain and made to fit almost anyone.
Gathering data on Earth and Mars
The Earth-observation instruments and next-generation software systems developed by Raytheon Intelligence & Space are providing critical information and managing enormous amounts of data gathered by the business' satellites and sensors in orbit. Those end-to-end space technologies are helping us predict weather patterns on Earth, secure military communications and explore Mars’ surface.
Capabilities
In our digital engineering hubs, research labs and advanced manufacturing facilities, our teams are pushing the limits of known science. Our researchers, engineers and innovators are developing the capabilities needed to solve the space industry’s most complex problems of today – and to anticipate the solutions of tomorrow.
