The stars of our mission at the Castle and beyond!
We attract ambitious engineers who are at the top of their field. Our engineers are passionate about their professions and do not view work as just “jobs”. We work hard, enjoy life, and try to minimize politics in the workplace. In all we do, we inspire enthusiasm, encourage commitment, and enjoy the moment.
Stardust was the first spacecraft to return a cometary sample and extraterrestrial material from outside the orbit of the moon to Earth.
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx is the first U.S. mission to successfully collect a sample from an asteroid. On Oct. 20, 2020, the spacecraft briefly touched down on Bennu, an asteroid more than 200 million miles (321 million kilometers) from Earth, and grabbed dust and rocks from a sample site called Nightingale.
With the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. We will collaborate with our commercial and international partners and establish sustainable exploration by the end of the decade.
Out of this world achievements and eventS!
After collecting an astounding 200-400 grams of asteroid rock, earlier this week on Monday, May 10, OSIRIS-REx fired its engines and said goodbye to the asteroid Bennu. After orbiting it since 2018. It will take another two years and 1.4 billon miles to get back to Earth, finishing its mission
Dating back to the 1970s, humans aren’t the only interesting things that have been set into orbit. We mentioned a year ago that slime was sent to the ISS for astronauts to experiment with (and have fun with)! Additionally, scientists have sent spiders, bullfrogs, Japanese rice fish, honeybees, and even
On April 28th, 2021, the world lost Apollo 11’s pilot, Michael Collins. As a lifelong enthusiast of space exploration, Collins made a huge impact on the aerospace industry, if not the whole world. Being the first man to orbit the moon alone, Collins truly set the stage for the future
