Ballute Flight Experiment Mission Animation
Andrews Space was awarded a NASA Phase II SBIR in 2004 to design, develop, and flight test a variable-drag supersonic ballute to test system aeroelasticity and stability under transonic flight conditions. Andrews is currently developing and flight testing a subscale demonstration system. The mission animation characterizes the flight experiment configuration and operations.

NASA Crew Exploration Vehicle Mission Animation
As part of a NASA contract to define an approach for returning to the Moon and continuing on to Mars, Andrews developed a crew/cargo transportation system architecture featuring a 5.4 meter diameter space capsule launched on a shuttle derived launch vehicle. This engineering visualization characterizes the Andrews system and its operations for near term support of the International Space Station.

Peregrine Small Launch Vehicle
Andrews has developed a hybrid (part reusable/part expendable) Peregrine Launch System (PLS) capable of meeting or exceeding all force projection objectives and addressing Operationally Responsive Spacelift (ORS) goals. This hybrid system includes a reusable airplane-like Peregrine Air Vehicle (PAV) Stage 0 that deploys an expendable Upper Stage Assembly (USA) with payload. The PLS operates within the existing military infrastructure and offers the flexibility to provide global strike or space launch capability using the same assets.
