The company admitted to falsifying its documents, claiming it had not hauled incompatible chemicals with its tanker trailers.
HOUSTON, Texas -- A Texas-based company admitted to fraud after selling NASA potentially tainted rocket fuel, according to U.S. Attorney Jennifer B. Lowery.Lowery said Anahuac Transport Inc. admitted to falsifying its records and delivering potentially tainted rocket fuel for NASA and Department of Defense rocket launches.
On July 14, U.S. District Judge Alfred H. Bennett ordered the company to serve three years on probation and to pay an additional fine of $275,000. At the time of the plea, Monteau, Charpiot, and Anahuac entered voluntary exclusions with the United States. Each agreed to be banned from federal government contracting for two years.
These companies procured fuel for the rocket launches and contracted to transport the fuel to the launch sites. Anahuac was in the business of hauling chemicals in tanker trailers. From 2012 through 2020, NASA and DOD subcontracted Anahuac to transport the rocket fuel.
