CTE and STEM teachers, principals, and school counselors have an impactful influence on students. We hope to bring a better understanding of modern manufacturing careers and form successful partnerships where local schools may share these incredible opportunities with students and parents in their communities.

Big thank you to Casual Space Podcast's Beth Mund and Aerojet Rocketdyne's Joe Cassady, Executive Director of Space Programs, for discussing Major Tool & Machine and our contributions to NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Listen in at the 2:00 minute mark to hear Joe reference the parts we contribute to the space program.

“Literally, tens of thousands of people and hundreds of companies are involved- many are small companies that are our suppliers…they’re the real lifeblood of things like this, and they are very proud of it. Being able to go out and go across the country and say to people, ‘The road to Mars and the road back to the Moon starts here, in your town. You’re part of this’. It’s really exciting."

As a thank you for the work we contributed to the Boeing CST-100 Starliner, Major Tool & Machine was granted the privilege to send several objects into space aboard the flight test that took place on December 20th, 2019.

During the flight test, Starliner orbited the Earth 33 times and covered a distance of 854,367 miles before touching down on December 22nd, 2019 in New Mexico.

MTM chose to send our company flag signed by several individuals involved with the program, along with a small medallion and patch as seen in the photographs. Incredible work by everyone involved.
