About CTAA Proud Tradition of Success
Since 1979

Formed by the engineers behind NASA's Viking Mars missions

The automation technology that ran on Mars in 1976 was built by the team that founded CTA. That lineage, autonomy where failure is not an option, still defines how we engineer.

Origin

CTA was formed in 1979 by a team of engineers who developed the automation technology used in NASA's Viking Mars missions.

Today CTA is an established information-technology and systems-engineering firm with a storied record of top-tier systems services and advanced-technology solutions for government and commercial clients in support of mission-critical operations. We apply that expertise to a broad range of complex data objectives, and we still measure ourselves against the standard the Viking program set.
