In addition to the aeroshell, technologists from Lockheed Martin's Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) have provided information technology (IT) support services to JPL's scientists, researchers and engineers throughout the MSL mission. During the entry, descent and landing event, the team from Lockheed Martin's JPL Desktop and Institutional Computing Environment (DICE) subcontract will be working alongside the JPL Mission Operations teams to provide mission-enabling technical and help desk support as needed and serve as the central reporting point to quickly address IT issues during the landing window. LMSSC, a major operating unit of Lockheed Martin Corporation, designs and develops, tests, manufactures and operates a full spectrum of advanced-technology systems for national security and military, civil government and commercial customers.
