Powering NASA’s Mission From the Ground Up
Storyknife, May/June 2026 edition
When the countdown begins and the world watches a NASA launch, few see the infrastructure, analytics, maintenance and operational expertise behind that moment.
Over the years, our Yulista Holding subsidiaries have strengthened their partnership with NASA. Across the country, Yulista personnel operate behind the scenes delivering logistics, aircraft maintenance, engineering solutions, technical support and launch readiness capabilities that move humanity forward.
Yulista’s support of NASA also helps Calista fulfill its mission to improve the socioeconomic well-being of our Shareholders. Performing this work supports Calista Shareholders through distributions and other benefits including career development.
For example, several Calista interns placed in Yulista subsidiaries have supported NASA missions while gaining exposure to a range of critical functions including engineering support, aircraft maintenance and warehousing operations. Through these experiences, the interns build valuable skills, support real-world aerospace operations and prepare for future careers in high-demand technical fields.
YULISTA AEROSPACE EXPERTISE
Before, during and after a NASA launch, Yulista’s test and evaluation capabilities validate system performance, mitigate risk and ensure mission-critical assets operate as intended in real-world conditions. Building on these capabilities, Yulista aerospace system validation and launch range operations provide essential oversight to ensure mission readiness.
At NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California, Yulista provides logistic support services that sustain daily operations, research initiatives and critical infrastructure across one of the agency’s premier aeronautics and space exploration campuses. Yulista’s assurance of seamless logistics functions enables engineers, technicians and analysts to continue advancing science, aeronautics and propulsion systems without interruption.
In Cleveland and Sandusky, Ohio, at NASA Glenn Research Center, Yulista joint venture Troy Sierra JV LLC, delivers engineering, manufacturing and full lifecycle test facility support, including operations, maintenance, inspection and certification for world-class wind tunnels and propulsion laboratories that help design safer aircraft, more efficient engines and advanced power systems for deep space missions.
As NASA reaches farther into the space domain, Yulista continues to bring decades of technical experience. Its disciplined engineering, aircraft maintenance and modification expertise support NASA activities on historic aircraft at facilities such as Johnson Space Center (Texas), Armstrong Flight Research Center (California), Langley Research Center (Virginia), Goddard Space Flight Center (Maryland), Wallops Flight Facility (Virginia) and other sites nationwide.
We are proud of Yulista and its subsidiaries for standing among the teams behind the NASA mission, enabling and pushing the boundaries of space exploration.
