JPL Looks To Alliance Spacesystems For Composites Engineering
Pasadena - Dec 18, 2002 Alliance Spacesystems Inc. (ASI) has entered into negotiations with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for a five-year task order contract worth up to 10 million dollars to support JPL's needs in the area of composite structures. Under this contract ASI will provide design, engineering, analysis, and fabrication services in support of JPL space flight programs. A key partner with ASI in this effort will be Applied Aerospace Structures Corporation (AASC) who will operate under subcontract to ASI in support of composite fabrication activities. Rene Fradet, President and CEO of ASI, said today "We are pleased to broaden our contractual relationship with JPL by supporting its successful spaceflight programs. "We believe that Alliance Spacesystems along with its partner Applied Aerospace Structures provides JPL an ideal combination of design, analysis, and fabrication capabilities with proven flight history to support its composites needs well into the future." Fradet added that this was also a key win for ASI as it will provide a broader base to our core capabilities in composite structures design and engineering. To date, ASI has built and delivered multiple composite structures to both government and commercial customers. ASI has also recently delivered two flight robotic arms to JPL for the upcoming JPL Mars Exploration Rover mission.
