Summary
Aetos Systems, Inc., a Huntsville-based subcontractor on NASA's AEGIS contract, filed a WARN notice saying NASA insourcing may result in up to 126 Aetos employees being terminated by December 31, 2026, at Kennedy Space Center. The affected roles include communications system engineers, electronic technicians and field systems specialists, with 118 of the 126 represented by IBEW Local 2088 on Merritt Island.
