CSS Announces New Strategic Partnerships for Civil and Commercial Markets

CSS Inc. proudly announces new strategic partnerships aimed at addressing growing markets in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and lunar environments. These partnerships are designed to build a team of complementary capabilities in response to opportunities from NASA’s $478 million Research, Engineering & Mission Integration Services-2 (REMIS-2) contract, for which CSS was selected in 2023. Together with our partners, CSS will provide spaceflight, ground hardware and software, sustaining engineering functions and services, payload facility integration, and research mission integration operations services via REMIS-2. 

CSS has signed agreements with Redwire, Space Commerce Matters, Canadensys, and Mission Control. Our team of collaborators is continuously expanding, as we aim to foster new business opportunities and collaborate with an increasing number of partners. 

“CSS is proud to be developing strategic partnerships that meet the evolving needs of our customers while leveraging our combined strengths. Together, we are committed to fostering a sustainable space economy that benefits both space exploration and life on Earth.”, said Jolanda Janczewski, President of CSS. 

Our strategy involves leveraging these partnerships to meet the growing needs of government and commercial customers across various space platforms. CSS is committed to addressing significant terrestrial markets by utilizing space to improve life on Earth while fostering a sustainable space economy. Additionally, we support research and space manufacturing applications to advance space exploration.
