Foresight and Commitment: 45 Years of Aerospace
Aerospace has been involved in virtually every national security space mission since the beginning of the space era and remains a major partner in developing the nation's next generation of launch vehicles and satellite programs.
Part of a Day's Work: Notable Contributions by Aerospace Personnel
Each year, Aerospace bestows a number of awards that encourage, commend, and reward significant contributions of individuals and project teams that go far beyond normal expectations.
Space Launch Vehicle Reliability
The 1993 failure of a Titan IV K-11 launch vehicle prompted the U.S. Air Force to request The Aerospace Corporation's participation in an analysis of space-mission failures. I-Shih Chang led the Aerospace study, which was later expanded to support the DOD Broad Area Review of U.S. launch failures between 1985 and 1999.
Optimizing Performance Through Constellation Management
Deciding where to put the GPS satellites is no easy task. Research at Aerospace has been instrumental in answering the fundamental questions of constellation management: how many, how high, how close, and how long.
EELV: The Next Stage of Space Launch
U.S. launch capabilities continue to evolve to meet increasingly demanding space asset requirements. Aerospace is helping to ensure that the latest generation of advanced launch vehicles will lead a long and productive life.
Maximizing the Value of Intellectual Property
Aerospace has a formal process to explore and develop ancillary applications for technology originally developed to support the national security space community.
