TRAILBLAZING ASTRONAUTICS: SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND INTEGRATION
We specialize in making complex systems work. The more complex, the better - until we simplify them, making them better still.
About Trailblazing Astronautics
We founded Trailblazing Astronautics on the time-tested principle that an experienced guide can lead you through the
"new frontier" wilderness to your goal:
reliable, usable astronautic systems.
SERVICES: CONCEPT TO LAUNCH AND BEYOND
From CONOPs to requirements derivation to payload integration to development and qualification testing, we provide systems engineering services for payloads, expendable launch vehicles, reusable launch vehicles, upper stages, space stations, orbital, lunar, and Mars (in situ) process plants/factories and orbital, lunar, and Mars trading posts.
If it is destined for space,
or already aloft,
destiny calls us to work on it.
