CACI
About CACI
CACI International, the defense and intelligence technology company, develops flight software and space vehicle models for NASA's human spaceflight programs at Johnson Space Center in Houston (Orion, the Moon base studies, electromagnetic compatibility of space vehicles) and supports military space operations, including at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado. Only its space roles are listed here: the board reads the postings its own search finds for space and judges each one before it is listed, so its other defense and intelligence work stays off.
