In addition to NOAA, the company is also a key provider of satellite mission life cycle services for a variety of technically complex U.S. Government programs, including providing ground systems and mission operations to NASA, the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Geological Survey, and has helped pioneer space engineering and operations for more than 65 years.

Revenue associated with this project will be booked into backlog of unfilled orders for KBR's Government Services Business Segment as task orders are awarded throughout the contract period.
