CRISA, or Crissa, in ancient geography, one of the oldest cities of Greece, situated in Phocis, on one of the spurs of Parnassus.
By the ancients themselves the name of Cirrha was so often substituted for that of Crisa, that it soon became doubtful whether 1 The value of gold mined in 1899-1902 was greater, annually, than the product of 1905 or 5906; up to 1905 the greatest annual value was in 1900, $18,073,539.
The ruins of Crisa may be still seen where the ravine of the Pleistus joins the plain; its name is probably preserved by the modern Chryso.

Crisa, presently employing more than 290 people, is integrated into Astrium S.L., Spain 's leading space company.
The company has played a relevant role in most ESA's scientific and Earth observation missions, developing payload processors and hardware and software controllers: data processing units, control units, power conditioning and distribution units, ground segment and test bench equipment.
