FOUNDER
AARON BONANNO - engineer
Aaron began this journey in 2013 believing that continuous access to space can only be achieved through reusable and high frequency launch services. Since then Aaron has been studying, researching and designing a launch architecture capable of providing diversified launch services to clients around the globe. This research and development culminated in the creation of Enter Space with a team of skilled and motivated engineers and business developers at the beginning of 2019.
Aaron’s background in space science stems from a fascination with science fiction in early childhood which lead to a hobby of building and testing homemade rocket motors and studying In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) lunar energy concepts at university. Aaron, as part of a team of engineers, developed the first Australian lunar regolith simulant ALRS-1 in 2012 and worked on sintering lunar regolith for thermal energy storage on the moon. His work was chosen as the 2012 best undergraduate paper at the American Society of Civil Engineers, Earth and Space Conference - Engineering for Extreme Environments. He has appeared on the Australian science television program Catalyst in 2014.
