Accelerating aerospace innovation by empowering students, startups, and engineers working on propulsion technologies.
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 safely build, test, and launch their innovations with ease.
By enabling safe, affordable access to launch, test, and field operations and providing risk management and policy guidance, we help the next generation build, test, and launch.
Our three-pronged approach to support aerospace innovation and workforce development
A world-class facility providing physical access to launch pads, test stands, and integration bays.
APA develops safe launch and test procedures and provides a streamlined review process. We underwrite liquid rocket engine insurance to make development feasible.
We represent relevant issues in regulatory spaces while guiding members through complex frameworks.
