Company Heritage

Broad Reach Engineering has assembled a team of experts in the field of avionics, space flight hardware, and spacecraft and ground software design. More than 80% of Broad Reach Engineering employees are engineers by trade with direct, hands-on experience in designing, building, testing and flying space flight hardware and software.

Broad Reach Engineering has successfully delivered engineering and flight hardware and software for a number of national and international customers ranging from companies such as Lockheed, Boeing, EADS, and Ball Aerospace to international institutions such as UCAR, JPL, and DLR - to government agencies including AFRL, NASA, and DARPA. To date (End 2007), Broad Reach Engineering hardware and software has been deployed on at least eleven spacecraft with more avionics systems and software scheduled to be launched soon.

Broad Reach hardware is proven On-Orbit in LEO and GEO.
