Daudi Barnes founded Agile Space Industries to bring much-needed innovation to an industry that has traditionally relied on heritage solutions. He got his start at Rocketdyne, performing development engineering on the RS-25 main combustion chamber and then leading hypergolic test operations. He recognized the need for responsive, highly-diagnostic propulsion test capabilities, and formed the 'Advanced Mobile Propulsion Test' in 2009 as a result. AMPT has performed critical propulsion testing for programs like EKV, MOKV, LDACS, and Europa Clipper.
