Marshall\u2019s expertise and capabilities are crucial to the development, power and operation of the engines, vehicles and space systems America uses to conduct unprecedented missions of science and exploration throughout our solar system, enabling or enriching nearly every facet of the nation\u2019s ongoing mission of discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marshall makes human space exploration possible in many ways, including its bold, practical leadership in complex engineering and manufacturing techniques; advanced and alternative propul\u00adsion technologies; developing and testing large, integrated space systems, landers and planetary excursion vehicles; and conducting life-enriching scientific research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enable NASA\u2019s human and robotic exploration missions, Marshall maintains a broad spectrum of design, development, and testing capabilities.  Marshall also works together across scientific and engineering disciplines to design, develop, integrate, test and operate complex systems utilizing unique facilities, expertise and capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Propulsion is the foundational capability for all space exploration, and Marshall has been a part of every major propulsion development in NASA\u2019s history. The Center\u2019s expertise in traditional solid and liquid propulsion systems, as well as advanced systems such as solar sails and nuclear propulsion, enable a diverse array of spacecraft and missions for the future of exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marshall maintains the most exhaustive collection of materials properties data in the world. The Center is also working to develop new manufacturing technology and techniques applicable to the smallest engine components or the largest cryogenic fuel tanks. Pioneering work in friction stir welding, ultrasonic welding, and additive manufacturing all contribute to reduced costs, greater reliability, and faster development times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enable NASA\u2019s human and robotic exploration missions, Marshall maintains a broad spectrum of design, development, and testing capabilities. For launch vehicles and spacecraft, the center develops and analyzes advanced vehicle and systems concepts, designs advanced avionics and guidance systems, and provides a full suite of structural testing capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the very first payloads went into space, Marshall has played a vital role in managing payload systems and mission operations. The center continues to support living and working on the ISS, plan future systems for life support and scientific research, study space environment effects, and operate a comprehensive suite of environmental testing facilities to verify hardware prior to flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marshall\u2019s scientific research includes a broad array of earth science, heliophysics, astrophysics, and planetary science investigations.
