Terentiev, Alexandre

Terentiev, Alexandre is an independent aerospace engineering R&D firm operated by Alexandre Terentiev, based in Frisco, Texas. The company received two NASA SBIR awards under Topic H10 for research titled 'Smart Elastomer Seal with Remote Monitoring for Condition Based Maintenance' — a Phase I award in 2018 and a Phase II award in 2019. The research addresses NASA's need to develop common launch infrastructure supporting multiple types of rockets. The core innovation is an intelligent elastomer seal system equipped with remote monitoring capabilities, enabling condition-based maintenance of launch infrastructure components through NASA Autonomous Control Technologies. The smart seal technology aims to reduce costs and simplify servicing of rocket launch infrastructure by automating the monitoring and maintenance of sealing systems, which are critical for rocket safety and reliability. The research serves NASA's ground systems and launch infrastructure programs, supporting the agency's goal of building versatile, reusable launch facilities capable of accommodating a range of commercial and government launch vehicles.
