Metecs

Back-to-Back Champs! For the second year in a row, METECS brought the heat earning 1st place for Showmanship at the NASA JSC 46th Annual Chili Cook-Off.

This year’s TRON-themed booth lit up the competition...It was built for the grid and designed to stand out.

Huge shoutout to the team for making it happen this year...we're already cooking up ideas for round three!

"Integrity, Houston. You are now officially far AF from Earth."

Artemis II is officially in orbit!

This mission represents the beginning of the next chapter of America's journey to the moon. We look forward to seeing this mission through its successful ex*****on and the future missions to build a sustained human presence on the lunar surface.

Onward!

What if your next career involved building a lunar base and returning humans to the moon?

NASA recently announced their new Artemis lunar base plans and made it clear: Returning to the moon is no longer about flags and footprints. We will build a lasting human presence!

At METECS, this is exactly the kind of challenge that motivates us. Our teams support human spaceflight by designing, simulating, integrating, and testing the systems that make complex missions possible.

If you’re considering simulation for your equipment, let’s connect.

We are incredibly excited as Artemis II moves closer to launch, and METECS is extremely honored to support the Orion spacecraft program through contributions spanning flight and backup flight software, verification and validation testing, mission simulation development, crew training systems, and operational lab support across multiple NASA facilities!

Being part of the effort to help return astronauts to the moon is something our team is deeply proud of, and we can’t wait to see Artemis II take flight!

Our summer interns have wrapped up their projects and are headed back to school. A big thanks for all of their hard work!

We’re excited to announce that NASA has officially awarded METECS the Simulation and Advanced Software Services II (SASS II) contract that has a potential value of $150 million over a five-year period.

From our President, John MacLean:
"This award is a strong testament to NASA’s continued trust in the quality of our work and their confidence in our ongoing support of the human spaceflight program."

Under SASS II, METECS will lead efforts in delivering simulation and software services for space vehicle models, robotics, human biomechanics, flight systems, and astronaut training technologies supported by our team of trusted subcontractors.

We’re proud of our team’s continued impact on the missions that shape the future of space exploration.
