About Us
Our Heritage
“Individual Commitment to a group effort –
That is what makes a team work,…”
Vince Lombardi
n-Science Corporation, a Small Business Concern (SBA), was founded in 2004 by a group of experienced aerospace engineers with the intent to provide innovative and effective products and services to the science and aerospace communities. n-Sci believes in a no-nonsense approach to providing solutions that best fit customer requirements. n-Sci employees have been instrumental through hardware or software contributions on high profile programs over a history that goes back 40+ years.
The heritage of n-Sci and its people reaches back over 40 years ago to the original Glenn L. Martin company. Joe Martin, our most experienced member, started there in what was the Baltimore Research Labs. Most of our people have taken similar routes to us through the likes of Martin Marietta, Lockheed, Ball Aerospace & Hughes Aircraft.
