Nelson’s Contribution: Ground Support Engineering

Nelson provided day-to-day management, planning, coordination, and problem-solving to ensure GSE subsystems met NASA’s requirements.

Carrie Seringer,

Vice President and Director of Design Engineering

Nelson delivers extensive design and construction support to the ground systems necessary to support the SLS and Orion programs. Our day-to-day management, planning, coordination, and problem-solving ensure GSE and GSS designs meet requirements. We produce reliable command and control systems and electrical interfaces between the launch pad, processing facilities, ML, and the Launch Control Center (LCC). Nelson has an impeccable record of responding to evolving requirements. Vehicle design changes naturally impacted GSE designs resulting in revisions to plans. Our designs consistently meet technical, schedule, budget, and quality expectations.
