The Future of Hypersonic Flight Test

On Mission.

On Demand.

On Condition.

Venus’ approach to hypersonic flight test provides an affordable dedicated platform with tailored missions to access high-speed environments for extended durations.

Our innovative flight test approach ensures precision and cost-effectiveness. We focus exclusively on individual tests, using tailored environments and a high-cadence architecture for reliable performance. Our mobile launch platform enhances operational flexibility and accessibility, while our reusable systems reduce costs and maximize data recovery, boosting mission impact.

Andrew Duggleby

CTO

Dr. Andrew Duggleby is the CTO and co-founder of Venus Aerospace, a U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander and an engineering professor. Before launching Venus, he was head of launch operations at Virgin Orbit where he led operational planning, mission control, telemetry, ground equipment, launch infrastructure, and payload operations teams. He also led a team of engineers and technicians to hotfire the first dual-mode 3D print (DMLS printed and DED cladded) rocket engine, in collaboration with NASA MSFC. Dr. Duggleby was a Mechanical Engineering Asst. Professor at Virginia Tech and Texas A&M. He founded Exosent Engineering with a former student, making ASME-rated hazardous transport trailers, and exited in 2015 to pursue his space passion. A Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve, he has multiple deployments to Japan (shipyard repair), and multiple commanding officer tours of US-based reserve maintenance units. Would love to get more PhDs but his wife won’t let him.
