Case Study: Spaceflight Industries achieves rapid reviews and end-to-end traceability with Jama Software (Jama Connect)

Spaceflight Industries Propels Space Exploration Forward & Upward Using Jama Connect

Spaceflight Industries, a 120-person company that designs, launches and images satellites and provides rideshare launch and geospatial services, needed a way to reduce the cost and time of getting customers to orbit while meeting strict regulatory and safety requirements. Their existing processes lacked a single, structured system for requirements change management, traceability and team reviews, making it difficult to assess downstream impacts, demonstrate compliance (FCC, range safety, radiation, etc.) and keep design cycles short.

Spaceflight implemented Jama Connect, using its Review Center, live end-to-end traceability, customizable review filters, suspect-links feature and dashboard widgets to centralize requirements and collaboration. Review times dropped from indeterminate timelines to days, audits revealed and helped close gaps in requirements decomposition, reporting became straightforward, and teams gained faster decision-making, improved productivity and reduced risk—enabling shorter design cycles and easier integration of new technologies.
