Adranos Energetics featured on Inside Indiana Business
Solid rocket fuels have remained largely unchanged since the 1950s. Brandon Terry, a postdoctoral researcher at Zucrow Labs, wants to change that.
He has started a company, Adranos Energetics, to market a new kind of solid rocket fuel that is more powerful, more efficient, and less damaging to the environment. With the help of two MBA graduates (Chris Stoker and Shane McGuire), Adranos has won several business plan competitions, all while Brandon continues his work at Purdue's Zucrow Laboratories. Here he discusses the interesting transition between rocket science and entrepreneurship.
Adranos Energetics were recently featured on an episode of Inside Indiana Business and are featured in this article: http://www.insideindianabusiness.com/story/32346398/innovators-target-decades-old-rocket-fuel-drawbacks
