Aero-News Quote of the Day
"Altair Pathfinder represents the company's continuing commitment to its National Security Space and NASA customers through our continual IR&D investments targeted at de-risking our mainline customer missions. It also exemplifies the agility and dependability of our people, products and processes to develop and deliver disruptive, highly capable space systems as Altair Pathfinder took less than 12 months from program inception to final ship date. Special thanks go to our NanoRacks launch provider–they've been nothing short of being responsive and helpful every step of the way since we signed the launch services agreement earlier this year."
