SwRI Selected as Payload Integrator for Three NASA Suborbital Flight Opportunities Research Providers
“Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has been selected to provide payload flight integration services as part of three suborbital flight provider contracts recently announced by NASA to Virgin Galactic, XCOR and Masten Space Systems. These contracts are an important step forward for the NASA Flight Opportunities Program, funded by NASA’s Office of the Chief Technologist and managed by NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, Calif., and affirm the need for commercial space access for a range of research and educational applications.”
