Complex aerospace hardware integration and coordination across multiple contractors creates massive cost overruns and schedule delays

Government agencies and prime contractors struggle to manage the design, development, testing, and production of sophisticated aerospace systems when responsibility is fragmented across NASA teams, multiple production contractors, and instrument unit suppliers. Current project management approaches fail to prevent the coordination failures, rework cycles, and scope creep that turn $10B+ programs into financial disasters with years of delays.
