Item 5.02      Departure of Directors or Principal Officers;
               Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal
               Officers

     Effective March 11, 2005, Peter C. Belford, Sr. resigned
from the Board of Directors of Analex Corporation ("Analex").

     As  a  result of Mr. Keith Kellogg's recent resignation from
the  Board  and  immediately prior to Mr. Belford's  resignation,
Analex's Board was comprised of eight (8) directors, four (4)  of
whom  were  independent.  The Nominating  Committee  of  Analex's
Board  has  been  searching for a qualified independent  director
candidate   to   fill  the  vacancy  created  by  Mr.   Kellogg's
resignation and anticipates nominating such candidate within  the
next   30  days.  In the meantime, in order to enable  Analex  to
comply  with  the  American  Stock Exchange  listing  rule  which
requires  that  a  majority of Analex's  Board  be  comprised  of
independent  directors, Mr. Belford, a non-independent  director,
has voluntarily agreed to resign from the Board.  As a result  of
Mr.  Belford's resignation, Analex's Board is currently  comprised
of  seven (7) directors, four (4) of whom are independent.  It is
Analex's  current intention to re-elect Mr. Belford to the  Board
as  soon as a qualified independent director is identified by the
Nominating  Committee  and  appointed  to  the  Board,  therefore
allowing Analex again to have a full nine (9) member Board.

     Mr. Belford has been a director of Analex since November
2001.  Neither Mr. Kellogg's nor Mr. Belford's resignations were
the result of any disagreement between Analex and Mr. Kellogg or
Mr. Belford on any matter relating to Analex's operations,
policies or practices.
