One of the most impressive projects I've worked on at Aerojet is the Mercury Messenger spacecraft propulsion system. The low mass requirement of this spacecraft required that we develop a lightweight propellant storage tank and operate in a dual mode capacity. … The spacecraft was launched in August of 2004 and is on its eight year journey (8 years) to Mercury where it will spend a year gathering scientific data….Overall, I am impressed by the variety of Aerojet's products, the company culture that supports proactive behavior and ownership, and the interesting and ever-changing work opportunities.
