HAMPSHIRE firm VT Group has landed a deal which is out of this world.
The support services company has gained work with US space agency Nasa through a £13.5m purchase of a facilities management firm in the USA.
VT, which employs 70 people at its headquarters near South-ampton and a further 600 people at its warship factory in Ports-mouth, said the acquisition of the Cube Corporation would give it a £83.2m operations and maintenance deal at Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Centre in Virginia.
