Pasadena, California (October 5, 2007) – SGIS has been awarded a Science Data Systems Implementation and Operations contract by Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems in support of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The work will be performed in Pasadena, California. The contract, worth $400,000, is valid until September 2008.

The scope of this contract includes science data processing, operations and management support. SGIS will assume duties such as systems engineers, systems administrators, network engineers, technical specialists, systems programmers, programmer analysts, managers and scientists.

“We are incredibly proud of the work we do for JPL,” said SGIS Director of West Coast Operations and Business Development Linda Beardsley. “SGIS was selected for this contract based upon our expertise and the excellent reputation we have developed with JPL within the last few years. To be recognized as a result of this is further evidence of our commitment to helping them to achieve their mission developing and advancing technologies that enable the further exploration of our solar system.”

SGIS has extensive experience supporting JPL.
