What Our Customers Say About Us

Just a quick note to say thank you for the excellent work your team is doing on Dream Chaser IV&V. The technical competence of the team is clear and they are identifying real issues that could preclude mission success. In particular, Michael's interpersonal skills and approach make what could be an awkward relationship (aren't all independent reviews awkward) very much the reverse. I was especially impressed with this interaction with the SNC Mech team and ESI [Motion].
John TurnerDirector, Mission Assurance, Sierra Space
