Since its inception in 1997, Code 568 personnel have supported the following projects:
  • EO-1 - Spacecraft I&TEO-1 - One of the key responsibilities of NASA's Earth Science Office is to ensure the continuity of future Landsat data. The New Millennium Program's (NMP) first Earth Observing flight (EO-1), managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), will validate revolutionary technologies contributing to the reduction in cost and increased capabilities for future land imaging missions.
  • Hitchhiker - Carier Systems Hitchhiker - Since 1986, Hitchhiker has been providing low cost access to space through common electrical and mechanical interfaces to the space shuttle. Experiments are launched frequently. A listing of the past missions can be found here.
  • HST - Spacecraft I&T HST - HST is one of NASA's Great Observatories. It was launched aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990 and deployed into a low Earth orbit (331.5 nautical miles; 614 kilometers altitude). Code 568 assists the HST Project in planning, design, development, fabrication, integration and testing of replacement parts and science instruments for the telescope.
  • IMAGE - Spacecraft I&TIMAGE - Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration. IMAGE was designed to study the global response of the Earth's magnetosphere to changes in the solar wind. Code 568 provided I&T management and flight operations support to IMAGE. It launched in March 2000.
  • TRMM - Spacecraft I&T TRMM - Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission was a joint mission between NASA and the National Space Development Agency (NASDA) of Japan . Launched in November 1997, It was designed to monitor and study tropical rainfall and the associated release of energy that helps top power the global atmospheric circulation shaping both weather and climate around the world.
