ManTech performs the full lifecycle of space strategy and operations, across DoD, FedCiv and Intel agencies. We are the enterprise management security services provider for multiple space/Intel agencies. ManTech services improves resilience, performance, and cyber security of your space operations.
SOLUTION AREAS
Launch and Range Operations
ManTech is the prime contractor for the Launch Range Systems Engineering & Integration support both at Vandenberg and Cape Canaveral launch facilities. ManTech performs the satellite integration and pre-launch checkout ensure launch readiness, and executes the launch. We monitor the launch through on-orbit delivery and execute contingency procedures as appropriate. ManTech personnel have participated in virtually all Air Force and NRO launches since winning the contract in 2009 for a 100% success rate.
- Risk management
- Concept of Operations (CONOPS) development
- Mission integration and schedule management
- Configuration and data management
- New entrant launch vehicle certification/non-recurring design validation
Space Range
ManTech has embraced the challenge of identifying and capturing the unique threats and vulnerabilities in the space domain with our newest offering, the ManTech Space Range. Built upon the success of ACRE®, ManTech’s innovative and fully operational cyber range, we are expanding our robust, scalable and hyper-realistic range to encompass the unique requirements of a cyber infrastructure supporting a space enterprise.
- Space Range is a reusable, flexible, physical and virtualized space and cyber range
- Space Range is built using a Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI) model
- Entire space, ground and network environments can be converted to Software Defined Infrastructure (SDIs) on demand
- Ability to provide a before and after vulnerability assessment
- Realistic network traffic stimulation
- ManTech’s team of Space and Cyber professionals bring an offense-informed cyber defense

Space Resilience
Resilience is the ability of an architecture to support the functions necessary for mission success in spite of hostile action or adverse conditions. An architecture that is more resilient can provide these functions with higher probability, shorter periods of reduced capability, and across a wider range of scenarios, conditions, and threats. Resilience may leverage cross-domain or alternative government, commercial or international capabilities.
- Avoidance: countermeasures against potential adversaries
- Robustness: architecture properties and design features to enhance survivability and resist functional degradation
- Reconstitution: plans and operations to re-establish full operational capability and capacity for the full range of missions, operations, or contingencies

Digital Engineering
Launch and space customers face complex challenges to ensure their missions are successful. To meet these challenges, our Model-Based Engineering (MBE) solutions provide several important benefits across the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Enterprise
- Integration of mission, systems, physics, cost models
- Lower costs across mission lifecycle when applied during early integration
- Model-Based Engineering (MBE)
- Modeling as a Service (MaaS)
- Leveraging Commercial Best Practices
Human Space Flight Support
ManTech supports the U.S. Strategic Command’s Human Space Flight Support (HSFS) program and NASA’s Commercial Crew program and Orion requirements. In August 2019, this was put under U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM).
