Today, we proudly celebrate the 251st Birthday of the United States Army. 🎉

For over two and a half centuries, Soldiers have answered the call to serve with courage, commitment, and selfless dedication to our nation. Their unwavering sacrifice has safeguarded our freedoms, strengthened our security, and inspired generations of Americans.

As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Stellar Technology is especially proud to honor the Soldiers, Veterans, and military families whose service continues to shape our communities and our company. Their values of integrity, teamwork, resilience, and mission focus are woven into everything we do. ⭐

We are grateful for the opportunity to support our nation's defense, aerospace, and government missions, and to work alongside so many exceptional service members and veterans who continue to serve in new ways.

Happy 251st Birthday, U.S. Army. Thank you for 251 years of service, sacrifice, and leadership.

Army Strong.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

At Stellar Technology, service is more than a value; it is part of who we are. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, we are deeply grateful for the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of those who have defended our freedoms.

Today, we remember the fallen, honor their legacy, and extend our gratitude to the military families who continue to carry that legacy forward.

From all of us at Stellar Technology, thank you to those who served and sacrificed for our nation.

🚀 Happy National Space Day from the Stellar Technology team!

Today, we celebrate the innovation, exploration, and collaboration that continue to push the boundaries of what is possible beyond our planet.

At Stellar Technology, space is part of what we do every day. From supporting the design and maintenance of human-rated spacecraft to delivering mission-critical engineering, software, and safety solutions, our team is proud to contribute to the future of aerospace.

As a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, we are driven by a commitment to excellence, service, and going “Above and Beyond!” for every mission and every partner.

Here’s to the engineers, innovators, and explorers shaping the next chapter of space exploration, and to the journeys still ahead. 🌌

Practice drives progress, and progress in human spaceflight is earned long before liftoff. 🚀

Through rigorous ground-based testing and training, Stellar Technology is proud to support the missions that push those boundaries, including Artemis II. 🌕

In collaboration with our prime contractor partners, our team contributes to simulation efforts that prepare astronauts for critical moments, like today’s manual piloting demonstration aboard Orion.

As we continue supporting Orion and future lunar missions, we are excited to help shape what is next in human space exploration.

It takes a planet.

On day 7 of Artemis II’s journey, the Stellar Technology team has been reflecting on what it takes to achieve a mission of this magnitude. It’s not just one organization; it is a global effort powered by dedicated engineers, scientists, and innovators.

We are proud to be part of the network of contractors and technical experts who have spent nearly 20 years helping bring Artemis II to life. Our team members across the country have contributed to critical elements of the program, from the Space Launch System (SLS) that launched the crew, to the Orion capsule they now call home for the journey, to the simulation and training that prepared them for this first-of-its-kind mission.

We are honored to have played a role in a mission that is carrying astronauts farther than ever before and helping launch the next era of space exploration. 🚀 🌍 ✨

Day 6 of Artemis II here, and today marks one of the most pivotal moments of the entire mission.

As the crew travels farther into deep space, they have entered the Moon’s gravitational sphere and are preparing for a historic lunar flyby. Here is today’s agenda and timeline.

⚫ A Record-Breaking Lunar Approach: 1:56 p.m. EDT

The crew is closing in on the Moon, setting up a multi-hour flyby that will take them within 4,000–6,000 miles of the lunar surface. This maneuver will also push them farther from Earth than any humans have ever been, breaking the previous record set by Apollo 13.

⚫ Far Side Observations: 2:45 p.m. EDT

As they pass behind the Moon, the crew will capture imagery and scientific data from regions never directly observed by humans, including key geological features on the far side of the Moon.

⚫ Communications Blackout: 6:44 – 7:25 p.m. EDT

One of the most defining moments: a roughly 40-minute loss of signal as Orion moves behind the Moon, testing autonomy, resilience, and mission readiness in deep space.

⚫ A Solar Eclipse to Conclude Observations: 8:35 – 9:32 p.m. EDT

In a remarkable finale to the day, the Artemis II crew will witness a solar eclipse from deep space, as the Moon eclipses the Sun from their extraordinary vantage point.

At Stellar Technology, we are proud to support missions like Artemis, delivering the specialized engineering expertise required for humanity’s return to deep space. As Artemis II pushes the boundaries of exploration, it is innovations like these that are helping pave the way for a sustained human presence on the Moon and beyond. 🚀
