Hey, it's still there. Can you remember #BEAM? [read more: buff.ly/3v5RQcF]
Went into the BEAM (Bigelow Expandable Activity Module) to get some hardware nearly 5 years after its first opening. BEAM was attached to @Space_Station for an initial two years to demonstrate the expandable technology, and we've kept it to use for long-term storage ever since.
Other than stratospheric balloon flights NSC is also an FAA designated UAS test site. See how we have just expanded the opportunities for our customers!

This one goes back a bit but NSC has been working planetary research programs for a while too...

NSC was picked up by NPR Northwest for our Venus Aerobot work for JPL!

NSC is pleased to continue our support to NASA, JPL, and the exploration of our solar system through our award of a 2021 SBIR Phase 1 contract to design and develop platforms and techniques to support successful long duration Venus Aerobot missions.

NSC works with many customers who have challenging requirements and are doing extremely interesting projects. Both applied to our recent work with ESA, Thales Alenia Space, and Vorticity Systems Ltd to test the ExoMars EDL parachute systems.

Awesome day supporting Boing's Starliner development. Looking forward to OFT-2!

NASA, Boeing Complete Series of Starliner Parachute Tests Ahead of Future Flights with Astronauts – Commercial Crew Program blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcre…
For the final time, a high-altitude balloon provided by NSC lifted the Starliner test article 35,000 feet above the New Mexico desert. Equipped with reused parachutes, Starliner’s landing system successfully executed an unlikely reentry scenario simulating two separate faults.
Six for six! #Starliner passed its final parachute reliability test in a supplemental campaign co-designed with @NASA @Commercial_Crew to validate system performance under adverse conditions and with pre-flown parachutes.

The Near Space Corporation team was extremely pleased to support the European Space Agency, Thales Alenia Space, and Vorticity Systems with the high altitude drop testing of their ExoMars landing system. Thank you all for working with NSC for this critical testing.
An outstanding launch today by the Near Space Corporation team. Every aspect of the flight test was right on test condition, and the team was flawless.
The Near Space Corporation team is deployed out in Central Oregon for a high altitude launch. An outstanding team is hard at it and getting ready. This sure beats office work.
Next up...Commercial Astronauts! NASA vision - Blue execution!
Congrats to the Blue Origin team for another successful launch. #NewShepard #LaunchLandRepeat

Near Space Corporation (NSC) is extremely pleased to provide the heavy lift balloon flight services supporting Boeing’s successful Starliner test! NSC personnel successfully launched the test vehicle putting it on-condition to successfully evaluate its recovery systems.
Our #Starliner parachutes and team performed with flying colors during a recent test. They showed that even under dynamic abort conditions and a simulated failure - astronauts would be safe.
