Introduction

Angeles Crest Engineering Inc develops and designs mechanical and fluid systems for aerospace and terrestrial applications and we specialize in aerospace propulsion systems and components.

Since we opened in 1997, we have successfully developed, designed, and qualified hardware for numerous spacecraft and launch vehicle systems. Our customers include Aerojet, Boeing, Hughes, Lockheed Martin, NASA, and TRW. Our design offices are in Pasadena, CA and we have a laboratory and spaceflight hardware integration facility in Azusa, CA. The Azusa facility has a twelve-foot centrifuge for high g fluid dynamic testing and an advanced material laboratory for propellant compatibility testing. We have developed a comprehensive database on concetrated hydrogen peroxide compatibility for metals and non-metallic materials.

We use advanced analysis techniques and perform targeted testing to accelerate the design cycle and use integrated CAD tools to enable a seamless interface with the design database for manufacturing. Our Pasadena and Azusa facilities are linked by a high speed internet and we can electronically transmit design data and documents to our customers through a secure interface. We are committed to continual improvement of our engineering processes that are used for designing and developing mechanical systems.
