 PROFILE
Cordant Technologies, a subsidiary of top aluminum producer Alcoa, helped put John Glenn back into orbit: Cordant is the sole maker of solid rocket boosters for NASA's space shuttles. Its Thiokol Propulsion group (which is being sold to aerospace and defense company Alliant Techsystems) makes systems for Trident missiles and commercial launch vehicles.
