Accelerating aerospace innovation by empowering students, startups, and grassroots technologists
We systematically address barriers to build and test in aerospace through focused infrastructure, risk management, and policy advocacy.
We envision a future where the next generation of aerospace innovators can build, test, and launch their innovations without the traditional barriers of bureaucracy and cost. Through shared infrastructure, smart risk management, and proactive policy engagement, we aim to democratize aerospace innovation.
By enabling safe, affordable access to launch, test, and field operations, we help the next generation build, test, and launch without the traditional barriers of bureaucracy and cost.
Our three-pronged approach to democratizing aerospace innovation
A world-class facility providing physical access to launch pads, test stands, and integration bays without traditional bureaucracy or cost.
Starting with liquid rocket engine insurance, we make high-risk testing financially and psychologically feasible.
We represent relevant issues in regulatory spaces while guiding members through complex frameworks.
Inspired by Kelly Johnson's 14 Rules Philosophy
We prioritize hands-on engineering and real-world testing over unnecessary paperwork and meetings. Simplicity, speed, and results matter.
We empower lean, mission-driven teams. People closest to the work make decisions—free from micromanagement.
Our members are trusted to act responsibly and with integrity. In return, we minimize constraints and maximize support.
We operate with limited resources like it's a feature, not a bug. Ingenuity, not budget, drives our success.
