ASI will support NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the design and manufacturing of leading-edge composites structures

Alliance Spacesystems Inc. (ASI) announced today that
the Jet Propulsion Laboratory has selected ASI to enter into negotiations for a five-year task
order contract worth up to $10 million to support JPL’s needs in the area of composite structures.
Under this contract ASI will provide design, engineering, analysis, and fabrication services in
support of JPL space flight programs. A key partner with ASI in this effort will be Applied
Aerospace Structures Corporation (AASC) who will operate under subcontract to ASI in support
of composite fabrication activities.

Rene Fradet, President and CEO of ASI, said today “We are pleased to broaden our contractual
relationship with JPL by supporting its successful spaceflight programs. We believe that
Alliance Spacesystems along with its partner Applied Aerospace Structures provides JPL an
ideal combination of design, analysis, and fabrication capabilities with proven flight history to
support its composites needs well into the future.” He also added “This is also a key win for ASI
that will provide a broader base to our core capabilities in composite structures design and
engineering.” To date, ASI has built and delivered multiple composite structures to both
government and commercial customers. ASI has also recently delivered two flight robotic arms
to JPL for the upcoming JPL Mars Exploration Rover mission.
