Payload Integration

The company's first prime contract win was with the U.S. Air Force performing payload integration, integrating DoD experiments on the shuttle. We are proud to still hold that work today, now known as the Department of Defense (DoD) Human Exploration Payloads Contract (DHEP) contract.

Maximizing scientific return, while maintaining a safe laboratory environment, is the mark of successful payload integration. MEI Technologies oversees system engineering, integration and development of ground and flight hardware in support of Department of Defense payloads carried on NASA, international partner and commercial space transportation vehicles.

MEI Technologies has comprehensive human spaceflight payload integration experience, along with in-depth knowledge of NASA, international partner and commercial launch system requirements, processes and vehicle integration. In fact, we have integrated more than 150 payloads on the Space Shuttle, Russian Progress and Soyuz, MIR space station, International Space Station, European ATV and Japanese HTV. We are known for successful advocacy of the principal investigator's needs while facilitating payload development and operation.
