Welcome
Welcome to the Aerospace Technology Working Group!  We are a group of seasoned aerospace and other professionals who seek to further humanity’s exploration of space while simultaneously benefiting people on earth.  We hold semi-annual and special forums to discuss and treat topics judged pertinent to developing a space-faring people.  Using our substantial base of engineering and scientific expertise, we provide fee-based strategic and technical consulting, public speaking, and ATWG member teams to work specific targeted areas.  Emphasis is on the use of systems engineering and system of systems engineering, while accounting for the broader effects on other industries, programs, the environment, and the day-to-day lives of this planet’s inhabitants.  We collaborate actively with other space-related national and international organizations.  We conduct our work using both conventional and advanced communication and computer methods. 

We perform service work in the field of inspiring our youth to pursue science and technical education and work careers.  Part of our mission is to mentor younger upcoming technical professionals.  We provide opportunities for professionals retiring from the regular workforce to continue their interesting careers at their own pace and receive recompense for their efforts.  Membership is open to professionals and professionals-to-be of any age.  

If you would like to work and associate with us in our pursuits, we invite you to join us by becoming a member of our dynamic organization.
