Over the past twenty years, SPACEHAB has cultivated an extensive global customer base and has aligned itself with leading international partners within the space industry. From foreign space agencies to hardware and research specialists, these international entities choose SPACEHAB and our streamlined processes over more cumbersome approaches. Our primary strategic alliances include experienced and distinguished companies such as German-based Astrium, Netherlands-based HE Space Operations, Russia's RSC Energia, and Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan.

These partnerships have afforded SPACEHAB the opportunity to define and grow new capabilities that have benefited the space program across global boundaries. We have identified and mitigated the challenges of working with foreign entities and the associated laws governing international commerce. Our expertise in international shipping and customs, import and export services, and payload integration on Russian vehicles provides SPACEHAB a distinct advantage in the world's space programs.

Leveraging SPACEHAB's unique understanding of global commerce has paved the way to new competencies in the area of export control and compliance. We have broken new ground in this area, launching an Internet-based corporate export compliance system, not only available to our own employees, but as a service to any organization in need of this key capability. This type of training system is at the forefront of new applications being developed for corporate compliance and will soon become the benchmark for all export compliance programs.
