RUAG will support Dynetics through its engineering team in Denver, CO, and its newly opened manufacturing facility in Decatur, AL, providing carbon-fibre composite structures.

“We are excited to be part of the winning team on this major component of NASA’s Space Launch System – in what is one of the most prestigious projects in the United States, as well as globally,” commented Peter Guggenbach, CEO of RUAG Space.
