PTX aims to deliver cutting-edge aerospace engineering services that drive the nation’s space missions forward
Dr. Kam Ghaffarian through his family office, IBX LLC, has established Performance and Technology Xcellence LLC (PTX) to collaborate with U.S. government agencies in furthering the nation’s space exploration, research, and national defense missions. PTX will serve as an industry partner specializing in providing advanced and affordable high-end aerospace engineering services to meet the specific space-related objectives of both the public and private sectors.
“PTX possesses significant depth and agility across mission-critical disciplines, allowing us to leverage lessons learned and advanced capabilities from a portfolio of commercial and federal projects to surpass our customers’ performance expectations. Through low-risk approaches and established infrastructure, PTX increases the boundaries and probability of success of our customers’ and partners’ civil and defense missions. We achieve this by leveraging our team’s prior successes and integrating emerging agile service models that enhance contract performance while reducing costs,” said PTX founder Dr. Kam Ghaffarian.
PTX’s expertise encompasses a wide range of capabilities, including research and development of full lifecycle flight systems, integration and testing, mission operations, and space communications, technology development and implementation.
Founder Dr. Ghaffarian previously co-founded Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies (SGT), in 1994, growing it to become the second-largest engineering services provider to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with annual revenues of over half a billion dollars.
PTX represents the most recent addition to the investment portfolio of Dr. Ghaffarian through his family office IBX, which has a rich history with companies such as Axiom Space, Intuitive Machines, Quantum Space, and X-Energy. Together with PTX’s recent acquisition of the majority ownership of ATA Aerospace, these companies have a strong track record of providing exceptional capabilities for a comprehensive range of commercial and federal space mission products and services.
