Belen Aerospace was founded by Alfred Belen III. The son of a physician and an engineer at Boeing, Alfred was raised in California and became a doctor himself. It was during his time in the United States Air Force he first thought of the concept of internal atmospheric propulsion.
In 2021, Belen Aerospace was founded with the hopes of making new discoveries in the realm of space travel. Specifically, the organization seeks to find, cultivate, and promote breakthroughs in Internal Atmospheric Propulsion, a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical propulsion systems.
To do this, Belen also hopes to inspire in the next generation a passionate interest in space exploration and its possibilities, driven not by fear but by hope. This inspirational and educational component is at the core of the Belen Aerospace brand.
