A full-service aerospace engineering and technology development firm, Paragon is a major supplier of Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) and subsystem design for the aerospace industry. Their expertise also includes thermal control both for spacecraft on orbit and during re-entry, and for hyper-velocity aircraft.
Paragon also has a unique process for designing high-efficiency green buildings, which leverages their integrated systems engineering and optimization approaches developed from years of experience in human space systems.
Based in Tucson, Arizona their clients include Lockheed Martin, NASA, Rocketplane, Rocketplane-Kistler, SpaceX, and Boeing. They also helped create the life support systems aboard the experimental modules being flown by Bigelow Aerospace[1].
