Aerospace R&D

Amateurs talk Rockets, Professionals talk Launch Systems

Our suborbital launch system is mature, flexible and built to address your unique mission needs. You get lots of say in payload-bay design, flight profile and flight schedule, while we take care of the rocket and the other 99% of the effort you likely didn't know was needed to conduct a mission. Here is a sampling of missions we can perform.

• Acceleration (see how your wares handle a high-G environment)

• Propulsion (forget the test stand, test for inflight motor performance)

• Drop Tests (recovery systems or anything else you can eject inflight)

• Whatever else you can think of to test on, or with a rocket

Meteorology & Other Operations' Support

Operations support from ground skimmers to aircraft, balloons & rockets

• Continuous, high-definition wind profiles to hundreds of feet AGL

• Upper-air data to over a 100,000 ft

• Merged atmospheric profiles from all data sources

• Accurate rocket trajectories including nominal, ballistic and failures

• Trajectories for rocket boosters, payloads, parachutes and balloons

• Visualization of trajectories and wind profiles in 2- and 3-D

​

Other Capabilities

• Modeling, simulation & analysis of any class of aerospace vehicle

• Modernization of legacy codes, knowledge recapture & documentation

• Wind Tunnel: wind-turbines, aerodynamics of small- and micro-UAVs,  aerodynamics of tubular forms, incremental performance and stability from modifications, wind effects over terrain and structures
