Established in 1990, Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS) designs, builds, and operates space camera systems for government and commercial aerospace customers.

Three deep space cameras built by Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS) are currently operating in orbit around Mars. Three additional MSSS cameras are presently imaging the Moon from an orbital altitude of just 50 km. MSSS instruments have operated in deep space for a total of more than 220,000 hours and have returned more than 500,000 images.
