Vision
Our vision is to build a consulting and engineering services firm that is widely
regarded for its technical acuity, its breadth of knowledge and its innovation
in providing solutions for our customers. We embrace technology and seek its
application to challenging problems in the aerospace industry, focusing on
advanced space missions such as human exploration of the Moon and Mars,
satellite formations and constellations, and autonomous spacecraft. In doing
so, we leverage our deep understanding of spacecraft guidance, navigation and
control; satellite ground systems; and mission automation and autonomy with
practical life-cycle experience.
Mission
Our mission is to deliver high impact, high value solutions to our customers
through our intellectual prowess and our understanding of space and information
technology. With over 50% of our employees having an advanced degree, we focus
on tough problems, where theory meets mission application.
Values
Emergent truly values its customers, and is dedicated to getting the job done.
When we say we will do something, we do it. Customer satisfaction is always our
top priority. Emergent also values its employees. We are committed to providing
a challenging and stimulating work environment that promotes and facilitates
teamwork, yet also advances individual learning and growth. We provide a work
environment that is conducive to a high level of customer success and corporate
achievement, but within a fun and low-key atmosphere that leads to employee
satisfaction and minimizes turnover. These commitments to our customers and our
employees result from our core values of integrity, respect, and accountability.
History
Emergent Space Technologies, Inc. was founded in 2001 with the goal of bringing
modern information technology to the aerospace industry. Our objective was to
combine knowledge of emerging technologies from the web, Internet, e-commerce
industries with our broad and deep space mission engineering experience to
enable autonomous spacecraft operations. The initial market for our services was
to be created by NASA's satellite formation and constellation missions. As
their launch dates moved further out, however, we trained our sights on
rendezvous, proximity operations, and cislunar navigation for NASA's
exploration and science missions. As we grew, we broadened our customer base
to include other civil, commercial, and military customers, e.g., NOAA, Intelsat,
and DARPA. Along the way, Emergent has experienced rapid growth, almost
doubling in staff and revenue each year. While doing so, Emergent has
achieved a high level of customer success and employee satisfaction.
