Engineering Capabilities

eINFORMe provides specialized engineering support for NASA planetary science missions and long-duration spaceflight instruments operating in extreme environments on Mars, the Moon, and deep space. We support the full instrument lifecycle—from development and integration through flight operations and long-term mission sustainment.

Core Competencies

  • Instrument systems engineering for planetary science missions
  • Thermal design and analysis (vacuum, Mars, and lunar environments)
  • Electromechanical design and integration support
  • Environmental testing and validation in mission-relevant chambers
  • Flight operations support and command sequence development
  • Spacecraft data monitoring and anomaly resolution
  • Long-duration performance analysis for active flight instruments

Mission Operations Support

  • We provide engineering support for flight instruments during active mission phases, including operational sequencing, data monitoring, and long-term system performance assessment.
  • This includes sustained support for instruments operating on Mars and in lunar orbit, focusing on system health, telemetry interpretation, and operational continuity.

Flight Heritage

Mars Missions

  • SAM (Curiosity Rover) — Mars surface, 14+ years operational support
  • NGIMS (MAVEN Orbiter) — Mars atmospheric science

Lunar Missions

  • NMS (LADEE Mission) — lunar exosphere science in orbit

Focus Areas

  • eINFORMe is particularly focused on:
  • Long-duration mission sustainment
  • Instrument reliability in extreme environments
  • Operational continuity for active spacecraft instruments
  • Engineering support for science-driven planetary exploration
