Mission
A Colorado manufacturer of turnkey propulsion for small launch vehicles serving micro- and nanosatellites.
Ursa Major Technologies is a Colorado based manufacturer of turnkey propulsion solutions for a wide range of vehicles sized for servicing the micro- and nanosatellite launch community. In order to increase access to space, the current large aerospace model requires supplementation of more frequent launches, the timing and mission of which are dictated by the customer. Ursa Major is enabling this by offering versatile propulsion solutions well-suited for a variety of these "Venture Class" launch vehicles.
Something to know
Ursa Major's August 2026 announcement that it will go public opens by calling it a hypersonics and critical munitions company, and its own description now lists hypersonics, solid rocket motors and space mobility systems in that order, led by the HAVOC missile system. The space engines stay in the catalogue; the company now sells itself as a defence contractor first.
