At Goddard Space Flight Center, the Mechanical Integration group (comprised of highly experienced technicians and engineers) are an integral part of each and every Flight Project (whether it be NASA or non-NASA hardware). These folks provide hands-on support from the moment hardware (component, sub-system or flight system level) arrives at the gates of Goddard, through shipment to, installation & mating to the launch vehicle. Precision assembly and all other support is provided before, during and after environmental testing activities.

Major activites include:

• Fabricate, assemble, and build flight hardware and GSE

• Manage and perform spacecraft handling operations

• Provide cleanrooms, including the world's largest Class 10K cleanroom, or integration activities
