About us
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.

Researchers at Aerospace pioneered some of the first small spacecraft in orbit and were integrally involved in developing and promoting the CubeSat standard. Today, we provide our world-class technical expertise in the field of smallsats to support our customers in mission success. The Aerospace Corporation participated in the 38th Annual Small Satellite Conference on August 3-8, 2024 in Logan, Utah. This year's event explored how automation is being integrated into small satellite systems across the space, launch, ground, and user segments, making them smarter and more effective.

If you have a few minutes, I would appreciate you taking the time to vote for my SXSW panel so we can bring the value of space to the SXSW audience. The true value of space is not a projected value of the space economy in the trillions of dollars. It is in our ability to call our friends, buy groceries, track packages, choose an outfit, find a date, pay our bills, and just keep living. Our entire way of life is enabled by how humanity has corralled the natural resources of space, yet we rarely take real stock of its importance to our society and what we need to do to ensure our way of life is sustainable and uninterrupted. Fancy math and metrics probably cannot assess the absolute value of space…but we’ll give it a try. We've got a fantastic group of experts lined up, including Carissa Bryce Christensen, Alex MacDonald, and Ilsa Mroz! Vote for the panel here: https://lnkd.in/eQWjifvr #SXSW #ValueofSpace
