CSC Wins $113 Million NASA Task Order to Provide Supercomputing Support Services
Computer Sciences Corporation has announced that it has won a task order to provide supercomputing support services to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Awarded under the General Services Administration Millennia contract, the estimated value of the five-year task order is $113 million. 
Under the terms of the task order, CSC will provide supercomputing systems integration services to the NASA Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS), the high performance scientific computing facility that is operated, maintained and managed by the Goddard Space Flight Center's Computational and Information Sciences & Technology Office. "CSC is pleased to continue our 40-year relationship with NASA in providing key computing services that are essential to the success of NASA's missions and programs," said James W. Sheaffer, president of CSC's North American Public Sector business unit. The NCCS mission is to provide scientists and engineers with the supercomputing resources and simulation tools needed to carry out critical NASA missions and to make new scientific discoveries for the benefit of humankind.
