Talk:Aerojet

GenCorp
What does GenCorp have to do with Aerojet? The entire last paragraph makes no sense.
 * The article reads, "Aerojet is currently owned by the company formerly known as the General Tire & Rubber Company, which changed its name to GenCorp in 1984." Is there some way to make this explanation clearer? (sdsds - talk) 08:25, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

EPA Superfund Sites
If the following is a quotation, it needs to be clarified. Otherwise it gives the appearance of being biased:

"Aerojet-GenCorp (NYSE:GY) actively works to protect the environment from any further harm, and has developed "clean" rocket technology[citation needed] (Xenon gas thrusters) for satellite orbit maintenance and NASA deep space missions. The new thrusters are more efficient than older liquid fuel thrusters, and are now available for future space missions[citation needed]." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acghost (talk • contribs) 21:52, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Buck Rogers
The following text was removed from History:
 * In 1938, the United States Army offered two research projects, one for aircraft windshield de-icing and another for rocket engines to launch aircraft (known as JATO). Dr. Jerome Clarke Hunsaker at MIT had the first pick and, feeling that the rocket research was a "Buck Rogers" project, left rockets to the Caltech team.

This comment about MIT and Hunsaker leaving rockets to Caltech is unreferenced and tangential to Aerojet. — Rgdboer (talk) 22:38, 4 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't know about references, but it does not seem tangential. The Caltech/GALCIT team, along with Aerojet is the beginning of JPL. Gah4 (talk) 23:07, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

San Ramon
An states that Aerojet built a concrete pad at San Ramon for rocket engine testing and that the operation was moved to Houston. The edit cites YouTube video: The Secret History of San Ramon by Steve Minniear. YouTube is not a WP:RS, but it looks like Steve Minniear is a historian associated with Dublin. A better reference would help here, I found a web page About CCMC that has a date of 1964 associated with an Air Force contract to develop a "Nuclear Fusion Rocket Engine" under Edward Teller. It would be good to get details on that. Also, it would be good to confirm if the project was moved to Houston. Cxbrx (talk) 16:35, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

GALCIT and Aerojet fuel and oxidizer
It would be interesting to know the fuel and oxidizer, and other details, about the first JPL rockets, used for the JATO Ercoupe airplane. That is, historically important. Gah4 (talk) 23:10, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
