Avans Machine, Inc. was recently showcased in the NASA MSFC Space Launch Systems Monthly Highlights.

Avans is very excited to be a part of the first planned manned mission to Mars and back. The ability to be able to compete and participate in the Manned Space Flight Industry reflects the talents and dedication the Avans Employees have to mission success.

The J-2X engine, designed by Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, will be one of the most complex pieces of machinery on, and off, the planet.

Thanks to MSFC and PWR for giving Avans the opportunity to be part of a world class team, working together to accomplish what was once thought to be impossible.
