Civil Space
Advancing Exploration Through
Mission-Ready Infrastructure
NASA relies on Merrick to help enable scientific discovery and human exploration across its core missions—from air and space to advanced energy, life sciences, and emerging technologies. Our teams have supported the Artemis program since 2012, designing new test stands to structurally test the core stage components for the Space Launch System (SLS) and modifying the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center to prepare the SLS for flight. We also can help support research and innovation that pushes beyond Earth, from on orbit manufacturing and microgravity pharmaceuticals to systems that enable long duration human missions.
Merrick brings together expertise in life sciences, energy, manufacturing, and complex facilities to solve challenges at the intersection of engineering, science, and mission readiness. Our teams understand the safety protocols, containment requirements, and precision engineering needed to support NASA programs spanning spaceflight, aeronautics , nuclear technologies, and beyond—helping advance exploration wherever discovery demands.
