Macomb Township’s Futuramic supports NASA’s Artemis Mission by supplying Tooling and Flight Hardware for the World’s Most Powerful Deep Space Exploration Rocket.
Artemis is the first new human rated heavy lift rocket since the 1970’s era Apollo Missions to the moon. The launch of this rocket will be the culmination of a decade of work by Futuramic, located in Warren Michigan. There have been many challenges over the last 10 years but Futuramic has remained focused on the goal. The launch of Artemis Is a history making event that showcases “Made In America”, “Made In Michigan” and “Made In Macomb County”. Most people living In the area are unaware that much of the capability to build the Artemis Core Stage came from Macomb County Michigan and our automotive heritage.
Futuramic and It’s associates are proud to be an American company supporting the American Space Program.
