The Aerospace Corporation is a non-profit organization headquartered in the US. Founded in 1960, the corporation employs approximately 4590 individuals. It specializes in space research and technology, providing independent technical and scientific research, development, and advisory services to national-security space programs. The company operates a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) for the United States Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office, supporting all national-security space programs.
On August 25, 2026, The Aerospace Corporation licensed its DiskSat technology to three initial commercial customers, pushing to establish the "box-less" satellite configuration as an industry standard. This move followed updates shared at the Small Satellite Conference in Utah on its DiskSat demonstration mission, including the announcement that Australian propulsion startup Neumann Space plans to license the DiskSat architecture for future missions. Previously, on August 24, 2026, Aerospace's DiskSat mission achieved key milestones, demonstrating the potential of its fundamentally different satellite architecture eight months into its first on-orbit demonstration. DiskSat team members Catherine Venturini and Darren Rowen presented these results at the 40th annual Small Satellite Conference in Salt Lake City. Earlier, on August 19, 2026, an analysis by The Aerospace Corporation concluded that the Administration's request for $71 billion for the U.S. Space Force in FY2027, more than twice its current budget, marks the highest proposed budget increase for any military service in 75 years, pending Congressional approval.
