TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

KinetX Aerospace, the first commercial entity to provide spacecraft navigation services for NASA interplanetary missions, has achieved certification for both the AS9100 Rev. C and ISO9001:2008 standards. KinetX completed the Stage II audit with no major or minor nonconformities and no observations, a significant achievement for a small business entity.

Earning these certifications is a major milestone for KinetX as we are one of a select few companies our size to achieve this status, said Tony Goen, executive vice president for Phoenix Operations and Engineering.
