The industrial participation is coordinated by:
Rafael Vázquez (Grupo de Mecánica del Vuelo S. A., GMV)
Development of the Scientific Control Center.
Project financed by MCyT under number 1FD1997-1528-C02-01 and ESP2001-4529-PE and cofinanced by FEDER funds.
Now financed by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación under Project AYA2010-20982-C02-01.
