Belen Aerospace was founded by Alfred Belen III. The son of a physician and an engineer at Boeing, Alfred was raised in California and became a doctor himself. It was during his time in the United States Air Force he first thought of the concept of internal atmospheric propulsion. He found Belen Aerospace in 2021 with the hopes of making new discoveries in the realm of space travel. He is an avid Sci-fi fan and hopes to make it to the moon within his lifetime. Alfred resides in Upstate New York with his wife and three children.
