Launches A New Generation Of Innovators
During the past century, MIT’s aerospace innovators have helped win the race to the moon, shaped the nation’s aviation industry, perfected technologies that keep the nation secure, and begun probing the deepest reaches of the universe. These days, thanks to advances in technology and manufacturing, the proliferation of aviation as a mode of passenger and cargo transport, and reductions in governments’ appetites for large-scale space programs like Apollo, AeroAstro innovators can start their own companies, create their own aviation designs, build their own rockets, and make an impact outside of government facilities and large aerospace firms.
