Stellar Technology, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), has made significant contributions to the Artemis program, beginning in 2008 and continuing through today’s historic launch of Artemis II. While we celebrate humanity’s return to the Moon, we also recognize the dedication, expertise, and passion of our team. Their work has helped shape the Artemis program to date and will continue to support Artemis III and the next era of lunar exploration.
Past: Looking Back at Our Impact
Over the last 18 years, Stellar Technology has supported the Artemis I and II missions by providing specialized engineering expertise across multiple critical areas of the Orion and Space Launch System (SLS) programs.
Through three major contracts, the company has contributed to the design, development, and testing of key Orion spacecraft hardware components and critical flight software. These contributions include design work on the crew hatch, human interface systems such as rotational and translational hand controllers, and landing and recovery systems. Stellar Technology also played a key role in the architecture, design, and development of modeling and simulation software used to train Artemis II astronauts at the Constellation Training Facility.
This work was driven by more than 25 highly skilled engineers and executed across multiple NASA sites, including Johnson Space Center, Kennedy Space Center, the Michoud Assembly Facility, and the Orion Integrated Laboratory Test Facility. Collectively, these efforts have supported NASA in achieving critical milestones for Artemis I and II, culminating in today’s successful launch.
Present: Supporting Today’s Mission
Building on this legacy, Stellar Technology continues to provide essential support to the SLS and Orion programs through two active contracts.
Our team is currently engaged in software simulation and technology development, as well as safety and mission assurance, ensuring mission readiness, reliability, and performance at every stage. With more than 33 employees supporting these efforts across Texas and Florida, Stellar Technology remains deeply embedded in the success of Artemis II and ongoing mission operations.
Future: Empowering the Next Era
As NASA prepares for Artemis III and sustained lunar exploration, Stellar Technology hopes to play an even greater role in supporting the next generation of human spaceflight.
Our future efforts will continue to focus on advancing spacecraft systems, enhancing simulation and training capabilities, and supporting mission assurance for increasingly complex operations. With Artemis III set to land astronauts on the lunar surface for the first time in over 50 years, the need for reliable, innovative engineering solutions has never been greater.
Stellar Technology is committed to meeting that challenge, leveraging nearly two decades of experience to support evolving mission requirements, emerging technologies, and engineering challenges. Beyond Artemis III, we hope to contribute to NASA’s broader vision for a sustainable human presence on the Moon and future missions beyond. By investing in our people, expanding our technical capabilities, and maintaining our commitment to excellence, we will help shape the future of space exploration.
