ATLANTA, GA – September 4th, 2025 – SpaceWorks Enterprises Inc., a leader in aerospace innovation, has announced its recent award from NASA to pursue expansion of the nation’s hypersonic flight test infrastructure. This effort aims to accelerate the development and transition of hypersonic technologies to the commercial sector, fostering advancements that will benefit both defense and commercial aerospace industries.
“As we look to the future of aerospace, hypersonic technologies represent a transformative opportunity to redefine what is possible in high-speed, reusable flight,” said Dr. Brad St. Germain, Chief Technical Officer at SpaceWorks. “We are proud to support NASA’s vision by providing scalable, high-cadence solutions through our X-60 platforms. These platforms are designed to address a significant portion of NASA’s hypersonic technology testing needs, offering practical, cost-effective solutions that will pave the way for routine, reusable hypersonic flight.”
SpaceWorks’ X-60 platforms are uniquely positioned to meet the demands of NASA’s proposed Making Advancements in Commercial Hypersonics (MACH) program. With a focus on affordability, flexibility, and rapid testing capabilities, the X-60 platforms provide a critical bridge between ground-based testing and full-scale flight demonstrations, enabling the rapid maturation of innovative hypersonic technologies.
“By leveraging our expertise and proven capabilities, we aim to help NASA and the broader aerospace community unlock the full potential of hypersonic systems,” added Dr. St. Germain. “This partnership underscores our commitment to driving innovation and ensuring the United States remains at the forefront of global aerospace leadership.”
SpaceWorks’ collaboration with NASA aligns with the agency’s mission to advance reusable, airbreathing hypersonic technologies, supporting both national security priorities and the emerging commercial hypersonic market. Together, these efforts will help establish the infrastructure needed to enable the next generation of high-speed flight.
