Engineering Excellence in Human Spaceflight
Cimarron’s Civil & Commercial Space Division supports NASA and commercial space missions nationwide, leveraging decades of human spaceflight expertise across Artemis, Commercial Crew and Cargo, the ISS, commercial space stations, and NASA’s Mission Control Center. We help shape the future of human and robotic exploration by partnering with commercial innovators to design, test, and operate next-generation platforms for low Earth orbit, cislunar space, and beyond. Our engineering teams bridge bold vision with disciplined, reliable execution, bringing complex missions from concept to reality.
Exploring emerging space platforms
Cimarron advances the frontier of human and robotic space exploration by applying decades of mission-proven human spaceflight expertise to both NASA and commercial initiatives. From Artemis, ISS, and Commercial Crew to emerging commercial space stations and next-generation LEO and lunar platforms, our teams support spacecraft design, flight software, assembly, testing, mission operations, and astronaut training. Whether enabling real-time console support at NASA centers or partnering with commercial pioneers developing new orbital and cislunar systems, Cimarron ensures every mission is planned, prepared, and executed with precision, safety, and reliability.
Innovating system-of-systems architectures
Cimarron drives innovation across space communications, mission software, and integrated system architectures that power the next era of civil and commercial spaceflight. Twice recognized with NASA Johnson Space Center’s Software of the Year award, our engineers develop advanced RF and optical communication systems and high-assurance mission software enabling resilient telemetry, command, and data exchange from Earth to orbit. Beyond core technologies, we design and integrate scalable system-of-systems architectures linking spacecraft, ground systems, launch operations, and training infrastructure, creating seamless, end-to-end mission ecosystems for NASA and commercial space pioneers.
Delivering scalable support for commercial initiatives
Cimarron delivers mission-ready engineering and operations that keep spacecraft, crews, and ground systems prepared for launch and sustained flight. With more than three decades of support to NASA, our teams deliver flight software, software integration, avionics testing, ground system integration, flight software validation, and full lifecycle mission operations. In the commercial sector, we provide scalable software development, engineering, testing, and mission integration support that helps emerging space companies accelerate development, meet critical milestones, and execute high-profile LEO, lunar, and deep space missions with confidence and reliability.
