The Aerospace Corporation is a non-profit organization headquartered in the US. Founded in 1960, the corporation employs approximately 4590 individuals. It specializes in space research and technology, providing independent technical and scientific research, development, and advisory services to national-security space programs. The company operates a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) for the United States Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office, supporting all national-security space programs.
On April 24, 2026, The Aerospace Corporation released updated Mission Assurance Guidelines for Mission Risk Classes and Do No Harm (DNH) for Space Vehicles. Developed through a collaboration of approximately 50 government and industry experts, this document integrates over a decade of lessons learned with cutting-edge risk management approaches, serving as a communication tool between the U.S. Government and Industry Partners during space acquisition programs. Earlier, on April 19, the corporation highlighted its role in shaping U.S. civil space choices, advising the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) from outside the agency. Its public reports track budgets, Artemis programs, space station safety, and cislunar policy, emphasizing continuity in policy and strategy. Also on April 19, The Aerospace Corporation announced an advancement in space maneuverability with a restartable rocket motor, a significant departure from traditional non-restartable designs prevalent since the 1940s. This technology aims to enable dynamic and agile space operations by allowing quick adjustments to trajectories and orbits, adapting to the rapidly evolving and increasingly congested space environment.
