The scientific community endeavours to learn more about the environment that we live in to benefit humanity.  Our objective is to help our clients bring their science into space by working with them from concept to flight.  Over the past quarter century, we have developed a reputation for quality work at a reasonable cost, quick response time and tailored solutions to meet our clients needs.  

Company History

ROUTES ASTROEngineering, a privately owned Canadian company, was founded in 1988 as Routes Incorporated.  Over the years, ROUTES ASTROEngineering has grown and, in August 1997 moved to a dedicated building at 303 Legget Drive, in the heart of Ottawa's high-tech area.  This represents another step in the maturity of Routes and our commitment to continuing growth in the space science business.
