Comprehensive Support from
Acquisition through Operation

 

As an independent, nonprofit corporation specializing in the technical intricacies of space system design, development, acquisition, and operation, Aerospace offers a unique combination of experience and resources. Our highly respected technical staff has enabled our customers to realize billions of dollars in cost savings and unparalleled mission success.

Our 50-year history working side by side with our national-security space sponsors has made Aerospace the national memory and data repository for launch and satellite systems. We've developed a comprehensive catalog of science, engineering, research and technical support services and a unique matrix structure where specialized expertise can be focused on the most unique challenges across all programs and customer needs.

In addition to supporting U.S. national-security space programs, we also provide technical and program support services to civil and commercial customers. For more information about what we can do for you, e-mail us at candcbusiness@aero.org.
