Northrop Grumman spacecraft have supported NASA's quest for knowledge for more than four decades, exploring the space environment, mapping the skies and discovering deep space phenomena.

James Webb Space Telescope
As a key mission in NASA's Origins program, JWST will search for answers that will shed light on the birth and evolution of galaxies and the size and shape of the universe.    Read More
SIM PlanetQuest
NASA's SIM PlanetQuest will record star positions several hundred times more accurately than currently possible. With this highly detailed view of the heavens, astronomers will be able to answer questions about the size and age of the universe, measure distances to other galaxies and determine the masses of planets in nearby solar systems.    Read More
Chandra X-ray Observatory
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (formerly called the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility) is giving astronomers a new, clearer view of the universe. The Northrop Grumman-built satellite consists of a highly sensitive X-ray telescope, imaging spectrometer, high resolution camera and associated detecting devices.    Read More
Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite
LCROSS will impact the moon's South Pole to search for water ice beneath its permanently-shadowed craters.  NASA's next mission to the moon won't involve astronauts or merely orbit its surface.  Prior to a human return to the moon, a mission is now underway to buld a satellite that will impact the moon's South Pole to search for water ice beneath its permanently-shadowed craters.     Read More
