Why KBR
KBR's accomplished team of scientists, physicians, technicians, and operations personnel collaborates globally to support our clients' diverse set of scientific pursuits. We cover a broad spectrum of biology, ranging from neuroscience and nutrition to toxicology, immunology, and radiation biophysics. Our expertise extends to more than 15 NASA and military laboratories, where we manage specialized test facilities and conduct applied biomedical research in space. We also provide essential support to key governmental organizations like NASA's Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute, Astrobiology Institute, and Aeronautics Research Institute. From a sustainability perspective, KBR's work with Landsat data informs critical decisions regarding wildlife habitat conservation, wildfire management, and extreme weather events. Moreover, KBR's biomedical experience encompasses clinical testing and science experiments in some of the most complex and prestigious locations, from Antarctica to the International Space Station and Aquarius, the world's only underwater research station.
For more than 30 years, KBR has enabled the tracking of environmental monitoring, seismic activity and biological, chemical and nuclear threats.
John Clemenson Landsat Deputy Program Manager
"The space and related remote sensing technology transition across multiple platforms over the years is remarkable. The earliest spaceborne satellite missions dropped film in canisters that were parachuted down for specialized aircraft to catch mid-air, then there were the digital downlink and on-prem processing years, and now everything is moving to the cloud. We have amassed an enormous amount of data at EROS — we're in excess of more than 10 PB of Landsat data—of the world's land masses. This is a very exciting journey and I'm honored to represent our EROS TSSC team in being a part of this work."
