Parsons subsidiary Space Ground System Solutions wins $245M five-year indefinite delivery contract from Naval Research Laboratory to provide software development, sustainment and operations support for satellite ground systems at Blossom Point Tracking Facility. The award builds on 30 years of continuous work maintaining Neptune Software and Virtual Mission Operations Center systems for NRL's satellite command and control infrastructure.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Space Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Parsons just locked in five years of mandatory work maintaining two legacy satellite systems for the Navy - Neptune and Virtual Mission Operations Center. If you build compatible software, telemetry tools, or cybersecurity for space ground stations, Parsons now needs to buy from you to upgrade these systems without losing the contract.
