Space Science

Northrop Grumman spacecraft have supported NASA's quest for knowledge for more than four decades, exploring the space environment, mapping the skies and discovering deep space phenomena.

Chandra X-Ray Observatory

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (formerly called the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility) is giving astronomers a new, clearer view of the universe.

Eagle Spacecraft Products

To meet the growing market demand for affordable and reliable spacecraft to support a variety of mission applications, Northrop Grumman has introduced the Eagle Spacecraft product line.

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will peer into the past to a time when new stars and developing galaxies were first beginning to form, measuring and capturing images and spectra of galaxies that formed billions of years ago.

Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS)

LCROSS will impact the moon's South Pole to search for water ice beneath its permanently-shadowed craters. NASA's next mission to the moon won't involve astronauts or merely orbit its surface. Prior to a human return to the moon, a mission is now underway to buld a satellite that will impact the moon's South Pole to search for water ice beneath its permanently-shadowed craters.

New Worlds Observer

Is our planet unique? Are we alone in the universe? Recent technological advances will allow us to start answering these questions within a decade.

SIM Lite

A revolutionary spacecraft housing a high-precision optical interferometer will give astronomers the ability to precisely map the location and motion of stellar objects, and search for signs of earth-sized planets around stars close to the sun.
