HADES
Experimental satellite ground systems.
Engineered, sustained, and ready for the next era.

For more than five decades, Team SPA has helped the Department of War engineer the systems that take missions from concept through sustainment. From classified ground architectures to satellite command and control, our engineers know what it takes to keep the space domain operational, secure, and ready for what comes next.
HADES is built around two operational modes: Sustain & Operate the current ground system and missions and Develop & Onboard new ground systems and missions. Team SPA's expertise spans both. We've sustained legacy satellite control systems while simultaneously delivering the next generation of ground segments for Space Systems Command, the Space Development Agency, National Reconnaissance Office, NASA, and the Air Force Research Laboratory.
Team SPA brings Leidos, ERT, Amentum, OMNI Federal, and a deep small-business bench into a single delivery organization built specifically around the HADES requirements. Every Task Order is executed with prior performance in the relevant mission area.
Ground C2. Proven.
Across decades of ground command and control engineering, Team SPA has supported the customers, programs, and platforms that shape America’s space mission. A small selection of relevant work:
Platform for Space Command and Control Enablement
Missile Warning / Missile Tracking Enhancement
NORAD ITW/AA and Space Support Contract II (NISSC II)
DAF & USSF
Mission-essential operations, sustainment, cybersecurity, and technical refresh support for NORAD’s missile warning, missile defense, and space domain awareness systems at Cheyenne Mountain. Sustainment and modernization of high-availability NORAD/NORTHCOM warning and attack assessment systems.
NOAA NESDIS OMS
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Operations, maintenance, sustainment, and cloud migration support for satellite ground systems, including infrastructure, data processing, legacy system sustainment, and transition to emerging requirements.
meshONE-T

Closer to the customer. Closer to the mission.
SPA’s Albuquerque office sits within minutes of Kirtland AFB. Our team here has grown steadily over the past several years, with new hires drawn from the local community and from across the national security space enterprise.
HADES execution will be located in Albuquerque with the bulk of technical staff sitting at Kirtland AFB and surge capacity from Team SPA’s broader engineering bench across the country.
