Case Study: Tietronix achieves a rapid, multilingual Mission X launch with Acquia

Tietronix and NASA launch kids into fitness with help from Acquia

Tietronix, a software development firm and long‑time Drupal user, partnered with NASA’s Education and Outreach team to build "Mission X: Train Like an Astronaut" — a multilingual, community‑focused outreach site to get kids active. The challenge was to deliver a robust, multi‑language site with community features for multiple countries within an eight‑month timeline.

Using Drupal with Acquia hosting, support and Jumpstart training (including an onsite Senior Drupal Advisor), the team accelerated development, building prototypes in six weeks and completing the first phase in 12 weeks. The site launched successfully — over 4,100 students from nine countries participated, the site hosts hundreds of posts and media in multiple languages, and NASA has continued the program; the project finished ahead of schedule and under budget.
