Space Force enlists Integrate for mission management

Seattle-based Integrate has been awarded a $25 million contract from the U.S. Space Force to support the deployment of its multiplayer project management software for government teams — and for the commercial space contractors they’re working with.

The award marks a new chapter for the startup. It’s also a new chapter for the Space Force, which is keen to upgrade its tools for keeping track of high-stakes space initiatives such as the National Security Space Launch program.

Integrate CEO and co-founder John Conafay said his company’s software is analogous to “Google Docs for project management.” However, the mission gets more complicated when the software has to work in the secure environment required for national security projects.
