NASA VDS For Space Launch System (SLS) Program
Manufacturing the main structure of the Vehicle Dampening System for NASA's most powerful rocket, designed to return humans to deep space and enable missions to Mars.
EMF serves as a key manufacturing partner for NASA's Space Launch System—the most powerful rocket ever built by NASA and the cornerstone of America's deep space exploration strategy. Our contribution centers on the Vehicle Dampening System's main structure, a critical component that ensures mission success for flagship programs including lunar missions and eventual Mars exploration.
Our engineering teams recently hosted NASA representatives at our Merritt Island facility for progress reviews on this massive structural assembly. The project demonstrates our capability to manufacture large-scale, precision-engineered components that meet NASA's exacting specifications for human-rated spaceflight systems. The collaboration highlights the trust NASA places in EMF for mission-critical components that will carry astronauts farther from Earth than any previous generation.
