The project Aerojet brought sigma into is for some huge money upon completion due by December 2019. Total payout to aerojet is estimated at over 500 million over the term of the contract. Also very important to note the findings during this project will be used for AM processes for government standards.

The standards that Aerojet Rocketdyne will be defining will include the exacting engineering, inspection and safety processes that will be followed during the design, production and testing stages of any 3D printed components. They will help make sure that any 3D printed rocket engines or parts will meet the rigorous requirements expected from aerospace systems. Van Kleeck sees the new standards as essential to the successful production of new American-built rocket engine ready for the Atlas V and the proposed Vulcan launch vehicles by the targeted 2019 launch dates. Clearly the Air Force believes that Aerojet Rocketdyne has the experience and technological knowhow to define part and manufacturing qualification standards seen as vital to the development of the next generation of space vehicles.
