ERC provides support to every phase of the developmental/acquisition life cycle of advanced military and space systems for a wide variety of DoD and NASA clients. At Edwards Air Force Base, we provide basic research support to the US Air Force Research Laboratory's Propulsion Directorate in areas including (but not limited to) synthesis of new chemical compounds, aerophysics research, advanced propulsion technologies, controllable thrust propulsion, advanced materials studies, laser diagnostics, advanced plasma diagnostics, and high energy density matter (HEDM) propellants.
At NASA’S Ames Research Center, our personnel support the development of entry, descent, and landing technologies to support eventual Exploration Class missions to Mars, including the development and refinement of aerothermal analysis tools and modeling tools.
We support developmental test activities for virtually all of our US Army, US Air Force, and NASA customers. For example, in support of US Army Redstone Test Center (RTC) test activities, we design, fabricate, install and preserve test setups; complete maintenance of data and inventory records of equipment and property; gauge calibration and verification to test facilities; operate Government test and ancillary equipment for test and evaluation efforts to accomplish data reduction, analysis and management; and support test article instrumentation and telemetry and document test efforts.
ERC is heavily involved in providing system sustainment support to major in-service space systems, such as the International Space Station, and we provide support to NASA's emerging space vehicle program. At Johnson Space Center, we provide technical expertise; investigative and analytical skills; and laboratories, test, simulation, and manufacturing services to virtually all major systems the Center is responsible for, including the next generation Spacecraft Orion (formerly known as the Crew Exploration Vehicle). At Marshall Space Flight Center, we provide developmental and test and evaluation support to virtually all major propulsion/rocket systems managed by Marshall.
