Project Experience

We are proud to support our customers on ground-breaking projects at the leading edge of space exploration. Our team strives to develop and deliver innovative, high-value solutions to all of our commercial and government partners.

Here’s just a sample of customer projects we help fly.

Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV)

PROJECT:

Orion

SOLUTION:

Guidance, Navigation & Control Flight Software
Avionics Integration & Test
Spaceflight Simulation & Analysis

Odyssey is part of the Lockheed Martin team supporting NASA’s Orion project. The Odyssey role includes development of vehicle guidance, navigation and control (GN&C), simulation and flight software development, and related analysis for the EM-1 demonstration mission and the EM-2 crew mission.

Odyssey also supports the Kedalion Lab located at the Johnson Space Center. Through Kedalion, Odyssey provides support to the Houston Orion Test Hardware (HOTH) lab for hardware and software in the loop simulations, the Integrated Test Lab (ITL) for hardware in the loop simulations with an Orion mockup, and Operation and Controls (O&C) to prepare the Orion flight vehicle for launch.
