Practicing the business of science and the science of business
Established in 1997, Fundamental Technologies (FTECS) is a Kansas small business. FTECS is owned and managed by three principals whose careers aggregate over 75 years of space science, computer technology, and data analysis experience in government, academics, and industry.
Over the years, we've had the honor and privilege of working on numerous NASA satellite missions: developing data-handling software, and collecting, processing, and distributing scientific data for public, scientific, and educational use. At the same time, we've provided similar services for a variety of other businesses and organizations. The nice part is, of course, from the computer's perspective, data is data - whether it's from beyond our solar system or just across town; whether it's interstellar particle data or business operations and market data. That's why we're confident that we can assist you with your business software and data management needs.
Solving your business challenge may not take a rocket scientist, but we have them if you need one.
