Computer Sciences Corporation has signed a $597m (£289m) deal with the US space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The supplier will support the Advanced Supercomputing Division at Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley and provide computer research to the agency's Center for Computational Sciences at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
The price tag is an estimated maximum value for the deal, based on full uptake of a basic two-year contract and eight one-year options.
'CSC is pleased to expand our relationship with NASA and help advance the agency's mission in pioneering the future of space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research,' said CSC North American Public Sector Civil Division president Tom Anderson.
