Our Mission
We envision a future of commerce-driven space settlement for the long-term benefit of all humanity.
Our Vision
We believe that 21st century aerospace professionals are called to make a lasting impact on the world in which we live with cutting-edge technologies and solutions. SpaceWorks® continually strives to work at the forefront of aerospace innovation.
Through rigorous, quality aerospace engineering analysis, simulation, and hardware development, we move in leaps and bounds, not small steps.
Our Organization
Our talent includes aerospace, mechanical and software engineers, accountants, artists and other professionals. Our units include Engineering, Operations, Marketing and Communications, Finance, and Human Resources. Our Engineering teams include Advanced Concepts, Avionics, Structures, Systems, and Software. Our Corporate Headquarters is located at 2960 Brandywine Road, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30341.
Our History
Founded in 2000 as a spin-off from the Space Systems Design Lab (SSDL) at the Georgia Institute of Technology, SpaceWorks initially began as a small team focusing on space transportation concepts for NASA and the US Air Force. Over more than two decades, our company has grown to more than 50 employees including engineers, economists, artists, and many more.
We have continually evolved to support the ever-changing demands of the space market. After adding Pi Blue Software (simulation and design probabilities), we added Generation Orbit (high-speed flight and space launch systems), Terminal Velocity (re-entry capsules), and Blink Astro (satellite-based products).
Our Future
SpaceWorks has come a long way since our founding in 2000, and we now count many US governmental organizations, Tier 1 aerospace companies, entrepreneurial companies, and international organizations among our customers, partners, and suppliers. As our company has grown, our vision has remained steadfast. We believe humankind’s future lies in space, and we remain committed to making our impact on that goal.
