Rocket on launcher


A large percentage of our rocket systems contain cold-gas attitude control systems (ACSs). Project teams analyze these ACS requirements and design, fabricate, and test the ACS using commercial hardware (such as composite tanks and solenoid valves). The team members integrate the ACS into the flight system and reliability test the system (under a variety of flight conditions) in our air-bearing facility.
