The company combines engineering expertise with mission software, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, logistics and mission operations to provide integrated capabilities across the space sector. Designed to support operations on the ground, in orbit and for future lunar missions, Leidos develops technologies that enable faster decision-making, resilient mission execution and secure space operations.

For national security space missions, Leidos develops advanced sensing payloads for missile warning, missile tracking and space domain awareness. These systems incorporate onboard data processing and AI technologies that transform sensor data into real-time operational intelligence. The company also provides open, vendor-agnostic mission software, mission services and digital modernization solutions that integrate legacy systems, commercial technologies and multiple data sources while strengthening cybersecurity through secure cloud environments and zero-trust architectures.

In the civil space sector, Leidos supports NASA and commercial programs through mission operations, scientific research, engineering, logistics and information technology. The company prepares astronauts and flight control teams for human spaceflight missions while supporting researchers in developing, operating and managing microgravity experiments from laboratory preparation through on-orbit execution, enabling scientific discovery and future exploration.

Leidos also develops and integrates a wide range of technologies for human spaceflight. Its portfolio includes life-support and environmental systems such as the Laser Air Monitoring System (LAMS), the primary atmospheric monitoring system aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft, as well as dynamic systems including the Commercial Docking System designed to support future lunar missions. The company also designs, certifies and integrates crew hardware such as the Exploration Potable Water Dispenser (xPWD) used aboard the International Space Station and develops propulsion and crew mobility technologies for next-generation exploration. The company's engineering capabilities further extend to advanced spacecraft structures. Leidos serves as the prime contractor for the Universal Stage Adapter (USA), which integrates the Exploration Upper Stage, payload adapter and Orion crew module for NASA's Space Launch System and is scheduled to support the Artemis IV mission. Alongside spacecraft development, the company manages mission logistics by delivering scientific equipment, life-support supplies, mission-critical hardware and other cargo that enables continuous operations aboard the International Space Station.

By combining advanced engineering, mission software, AI, cybersecurity, lightweight structures, logistics and operational expertise, Leidos provides comprehensive end-to-end solutions for both national security and civil space missions. The technologies support every phase of a mission from spacecraft development and astronaut preparation to on-orbit operations and mission sustainment helping government and commercial customers advance safe, reliable and resilient space exploration.
