EITD is pleased to announce that we have been awarded a Task Order under NASA’s REMIS-2 contract to provide Cold Stowage Services. This secures our role in maintaining and sustaining the suite of cold storage hardware that supports temperature-controlled science aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and related mission operations.

Under this Task Order, EITD will continue to maintain, engineer, and support the full fleet of cold-stowage units — including active freezers and temperature-controlled lockers and transport systems — ensuring that science samples remain within required thermal limits from launch through on-orbit operations to return. Cold Stowage hardware and services play a critical role in preserving sample integrity for ISS science experiments, enabling researchers to collect, store, and transport sensitive biological and physical samples under precise temperature conditions. 

Our work under the Task Order encompasses sustaining and integration engineering, configuration management, flight-ready maintenance, spare-inventory support, and real-time operations support aligned with NASA’s manifest requirements.

What This Means for EITD and NASA

• Reliable Science Support: With EITD overseeing Cold Stowage hardware readiness, NASA can count on continuous, dependable thermal-control support for ISS payloads.
• Mission Readiness: This award ensures that EITD will sustain hardware readiness for future ISS missions preserving decades of experience with cold-stowage systems and contributing to ongoing and upcoming research opportunities.
• Mission Integration: As part of the larger REMIS-2 portfolio, EITD’s involvement reflects our capabilities in mission integration, systems engineering, and long-term sustainment of flight-critical hardware.

We are proud to continue our partnership with NASA and to support the advancement of space science, preserving the integrity of payloads, and enabling world-class research on the ISS.
