Aerospace giant Boeing has been sued by Colorado-based Wilson Aerospace over alleged theft of intellectual property (IP) related to NASA’s Artemis rocket mission.
In the lawsuit, the small family-run tools company claimed that Boeing has stolen its IP related to multiple devices over the last two decades.
The company alleged that Boeing built “counterfeit” variations of Wilson’s tools for NASA projects including the International Space Station (ISS) and its NASA’s Space Launch Systems rocket.
It stated that the tools that Boeing passed on as its own to NASA were behind the leaks on ISS and hydrogen leaks during repeated attempts to fuel and launch SLS rocket for its Artemis 1 mission. These endangered lives of astronauts.
