Getting It Right

Divisions

The Aerospace Corporation has provided independent technical and scientific research, development, and advisory services to national-security space programs since 1960. We operate a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) for the United States Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office and support all national-security space programs. We also apply more than 40 years of experience with space systems to projects for civil agencies like NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, commercial companies, universities, and some international organizations in the national interest.

From our inception, our highly skilled technical people have focused on ensuring the success of every mission and developing the most effective and economic space-related hardware and software in the world. Our insight and involvement in space programs has significantly reduced the risk of launch failure and increased both satellite endurance and performance. Avoiding a single catastrophic failure resulting in the loss of operational capabilities can save the government more than three times the total annual Aerospace FFRDC budget.

We don't manufacture anything. Our greatest asset is the technical expertise of our people. Our involvement spans all facets of space systems: including systems engineering, testing, analysis, and development; acquisition support; launch readiness and certification; anomaly resolution; and the application of new technologies for existing and next-generation space systems. Our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities are staffed by some of the leading scientists in the world.

Did you catch last night's FOX 11 Los Angeles - KTTV broadcast on embracing diversity and inclusion to build a stronger space workforce? It featured some familiar Aerospace faces! This segment featured Aerospace's Chief Diversity Officer, Via Van Liew, engineer (and former Aerospace intern) Christine Sarai Cruz, and current Aerospace intern Bavley M. discussing Space Workforce 2030. 

Both Christine and Bavley were part of the National Space Interns Program, which is managed under SWF 2030 and enters candidates into a pool accessible by all 30 of the participating SWF 2030 companies.

Check out our newly released “Small Satellite Propulsion Technologies Compendium.” [Download here: https://lnkd.in/d-hkwVQm] As an FFRDC, Aerospace is uniquely positioned to serve as unbiased knowledge base for “what’s out there.” 
Part of our role is to stay informed on cutting-edge capabilities so we can better support our government customers, industry, and academia. One of these key areas is Small Satellite Propulsion Systems. There are more than 300 worldwide — and Aerospace scientists have tested many of them in our state-of-the-art labs. The compendium highlights this work and is intended to help advance the knowledge of available options for space missions.
