Andy Voelkle has successfully managed profitable enterprises with over 300 employees and US$500,000,000 budgets for companies like TRW, Dresser Industries and the General Electric Space Center. His projects are always successful in less time and for less money than he estimates. Andy has been an internet pioneer since 1973 when there were fewer than 400 people worldwide on the secret ARPA-NET.
He was hired by Secretary of the Air Force on orders from President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, and worked with Claus J. P. von Ohain, inventor of the ramjet (powers the SR-71 Blackbird), and rocket pioneer Werner von Braun. He has commendations and recommendations from three Presidents, the top Directors of a dozen military and government research laboratories and four Directors of major of NASA centers. He joined the Mensa Society in 1968 with a score that was far above the requirement.
Andy was one of a dozen principle scientsts designing Landsat, the most important satellite in history. He invented scores of military systems which in total earned over three billion dollars for General Electric, Philco-Ford, TRW and other companies. For thirty years he played a top role in aerospace.
