spacewalks in our space suits
Can you see the future from here?
RTX has shaped the history of space exploration. Our space technologies – used for missile warning, intelligence, weather information, Earth observation, human space flight and beyond – are essential for commerce, scientific discovery and global security.
A relentless pursuit of progress drives us forward every day – because the progress we make matters. It allows us to see what’s ahead and what’s over the horizon.
Key facts
We draw upon decades of investment in technology to protect our world. Here are just a few examples.
90%+
of all DoD and commercial space launches supported by RTX
100%
of DoD information assurance standards implemented on GPS-OCX, the highest level of cyber protection for any DoD space system
50+
years of experience supporting space exploration
News
Innovating the space suit
RTX designed the first space suit that allowed astronauts to walk on the moon, as well as the suit NASA astronauts currently use when operating outside the International Space Station. And when astronauts return to the moon, they can use new RTX-built space suits that are more mobile, easier to maintain and made to fit almost anyone.
Data is the difference
The Earth-observation instruments and next-generation software systems developed by RTX are providing critical information and managing enormous amounts of data gathered by our sensors in orbit. Those end-to-end space technologies are helping us predict weather patterns on Earth, secure military communications and explore the surface of Mars.
Capabilities
Progress is not automatic. It is initiated – by tirelessly asking the hard questions and finding answers. In our digital engineering hubs, research labs and advanced manufacturing facilities, our researchers and engineers are pushing the limits of known science.
For our global workforce of innovative thinkers, progress defines the future and it defines us.
Who we are
We design. We engineer. We code. We research. We patent. We test. We learn. We iterate. We manufacture. We produce.
We create breakthroughs that protect and connect our world – from seabed to space, and everywhere in between.
We are RTX: a diverse team of explorers united in our goal to push the boundaries of known science – and solve the world’s most complex problems.
Smarter defense systems
We’re enhancing total defense capabilities for allied nations around the globe.
