Jacobs was part of the team that supported NASA on the Artemis 1 mission's 1.4-million-mile trip around the moon and back. The Orion spacecraft traveled farther than any space vehicle capable of safely transporting humans.
"With Orion's successful journey and safe return to earth, this historic mission has paved the way for a new era of scientific discovery and human exploration of deep space," Jacobs EVP Steve Arnette said.

For 50 years, Dallas-based engineering giant Jacobs has partnered with NASA on its exploration of space. Now—as NASA's largest services contractor—it's been awarded nearly $4 billion to provide engineering, scientific products, and technical services at NASA's Johnson Space Center for another decade to come.
"Jacobs remains well positioned to support the future of human space exploration," says its chair and CEO, Steve Demetriou.
