The Hammers Company is a Maryland-based woman-owned small business with over 33 years of experience in providing aerospace software and related services for major satellite programs. Our products and services are trusted by prestigious organizations like NASA, the U. S.

Geological Survey, the Naval Research Laboratory, and the Canadian Space Agency, as well as other government and commercial customers worldwide. Since our founding, we have proudly contributed to more than 100 satellite missions, delivering flight, ground, and simulation software, systems engineering, and IT infrastructure services. Our expertise lies in developing real-time flight, simulation, and ground software systems for various government and commercial satellite projects.

We specialize in creating flight software for spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control, as well as flight software for science instrument payloads. Our services also encompass flight software verification, sustaining engineering, attitude control analysis, algorithm development, spacecraft simulations, spacecraft integration and test support, and mission operations support. With a focus on ground software, our flagship product, GALAXY®, is a commercial command and control system used for satellite real-time dynamic simulation, command and control, trending and analysis, operations automation, and operations planning.

Derived from the ITOS software developed for NASA, GALAXY® has been utilized in missions ranging from CubeSats and balloons to large space- and earth-science observatories, interplanetary missions, and constellations. In addition to our software offerings, we provide engineering, integration, and verification services for developing mission operations centers, operations concepts, and operations plans and procedures. We are proud to have been the prime contractor for designing, developing, testing, and deploying the Landsat 8 mission operations element.

Currently, we are playing a key role in developing the new multi-mission Landsat operations center at NASA/GSFC, which will include the operation of Landsat 8 and 9 controlled by our GALAXY command and control system. Furthermore, the Canadian Space Agency has selected GALAXY as their satellite command and telemetry operations system for the RADARSAT constellation. Another aspect of our expertise is providing engineering support services for the NASA Wallops Flight Facility (WFF).

Our capabilities include engineering design and analysis activities necessary for the development of sub-orbital launch vehicles and payloads. We also offer support for NASA's Sounding Rocket Program Range Operations, specifically for instrumentation operations and ground support systems. With a commitment to excellence and a track record spanning over three decades, the Hammers Company is dedicated to delivering top-notch aerospace software, services, and engineering support.
