Welcome to the Propulsion Systems Analysis Branch at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Here, we strategically assess this center’s aeronautics activities. We play a critical role in analytically calculating the performance and economic benefits of advanced and unconventional propulsion and related systems. These assessments help to influence NASA’s decision-making process and strategically guide the direction of its technology portfolios. Revolutionary technologies developed under these programs enable the Agency to charter a bold new course by improving the quality of life on this planet and exploring the universe.

We are committed to revolutionizing propulsion technologies to ensure the U.S. industry’s global preeminence in both aeronautics and space. These technologies will lead to environmentally friendly, safe and economically viable air transportation, improve our understanding of the universe, and enable human and robotic exploration of the solar system.

We are excited to be part of the technological journey into the new century and invite you to join us in this great adventure by learning more about what we do, how it affects you, and how you can play a role.
