New architectures developed by Ball Aerospace leverage the overlapping interests and investments of government and commercial markets to unlock the full potential of ESA-based satellite communications and significantly accelerate its growth.

For Women’s History Month we honor trailblazers who have made an impact on the Aerospace industry.

Ball Aerospace is proud to celebrate our engineers, technical professionals and scientists who support our missions.

After years of developing new technologies, innovative designs and groundbreaking engineering, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) launched from French Guiana on December 25, 2021.

Delivered by Ball Aerospace to Cape Canaveral, Fla. in early November, NASA’s Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is scheduled to launch early December 9 from Kennedy Space Center.

The collection, processing and integration of data within our daily lives is evolving so quickly it can be difficult to keep up. The government and military now turning to private industry to innovate at the speed of business, remain relevant and stay ahead in a highly competitive marketplace of great power competition.

Ball Aerospace, together with the Air Force Research Laboratory, is exploring how to use state-of-the-art commercial electronics to enable “smart satellites” to process data in space – a key enabler for next-gen missions.

The Aerospace & Defense (A&D) industry is a rapidly evolving landscape, constantly seeking the latest and greatest technology or capability to propel our industry forward.

Both satellites have been major contributors in understanding the processes that have major influence on climate (clouds, aerosols, phytoplankton/ice) and even weather models.

This #EngineersWeek we celebrate our people who are powered by endless curiosity to create solutions and new ways of thinking that propel our progress forward and make our dreams a reality.
