NASA - Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)
The managing members of Vertex Aerospace, Nicholas Teti and Rommel Zara, hold key engineering positions on the NASA’s OMES-II contract. Mr. Teti is the JPSS-2 Project Thermal Lead and Mr. Zara is the OSAM-1 Senior Thermal Engineer. Mr. Teti has over 35 years supporting NASA/GSFC and Mr. Zara has more than 20 years supporting NASA/GSFC programs. Vertex Aerospace provides NASA/GSFC and industry with a resource capability that has developed over several years and multiple NASA programs affording Vertex Aerospace a vast understanding of the NASA/GFSC lifecycle for both in-house and out of house programs. NASA/GSFC engaged Vertex Aerospace to be part of the NASA team that was successful in having the PACE spacecraft awarded as an in-house program. Additionally, NASA/GSFC has relied on Vertex Aerospace to provide thermal engineering expertise for a significant number of proposals in an effort to bring more programs in-house to the NASA/GSFC.

Applied Physics Lab (APL)
Vertex Aerospace has active contracts providing thermal engineering support to the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, MD. Working to support the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) and Dragonfly Missions.
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI)
Vertex Aerospace was contracted by a Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in San Antonio, Texas to develop a thermal design, perform thermal analysis for the APSR, CoDICE, IMAP, LEXI, PUNCH, and QuickSounder instruments, which will launch in the 2020's.
University of California - Berkley Space Sciences Laboratory
University of Iowa
Vertex Aerospace provides expertise as test directors for all thermal testing support for the Tandem Reconnection And Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS). Our team of engineers provide post-test analysis support, continuing support as liaison between instrument thermal models and spacecraft thermal models, and consultation as the instrument thermal representative for Observatory level thermal testing.
Visioneering Space
Vertex Aerospace engineers use Thermal Desktop to determine heat sinks at the board level, thermally conductive or insulating interfaces, and materials/finishes for the Axiom Extra-Vehicular Mobility Unit (AXEMU) EVA Suit Camera. This camera will be used for Lunar surface EVA’s for the Artemis III mission, and for ISS EVA’s in LEO.
Visioneering Space Corp. has proposed a work package to Vertex Aerospace for the thermal analysis of the N415 Space Instrument. This triple aperture visual instrument will be used by DoD customers for Space Domain Awareness.
