« Moon Tool & Die featured in EDM Today | Main | Securing Business in Other Markets »

As spring approaches and our economy continues to struggle, there is one company that remains busy today with producing parts for NASA and the Space Shuttle and International Space Station programs.  That company is United Space Alliance, with operations in Florida, Alabama, and Texas.  I visited the Houston operation a few months ago, and had the pleasure of meeting some of the people who make sure our astronauts are as safe as possible during shuttle missions, especially when performing repairs and "space walks" outside the space vehicle.  The cover story for the May/June issue of EDM Today magazine concentrates on what these folks do, and how important it is to them to produce good parts, 100% of the time.  Check out the May/June issue to read about the operations there, and see some of the parts that they make to secure items and astronauts from floating away into space.
