Ursa Major Technologies
Designs and manufactures liquid rocket engines, solid rocket motors, and hypersonic propulsion systems for commercial launch and U.S. defense applications
Ursa Major Technologies designs, develops, and manufactures rocket engines, solid rocket motors, and integrated missile systems for space launch, hypersonic flight, and defense applications. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Berthoud, Colorado, the company operates as a merchant supplier of propulsion, enabling launch vehicle providers and defense programs to procure flight-qualified engines rather than developing them in-house.
Its liquid engine portfolio includes the Hadley, Ripley, Arroway, and Draper engines spanning 4,000 to 300,000+ lbf across LOX/kerosene and LOX/methane cycles. The company also produces additively manufactured solid rocket motors through its Lynx production process and has introduced the HAVOC hypersonic missile system. Ursa Major leverages additive manufacturing extensively, with engines more than 80% 3D-printed by mass, and operates test facilities in Colorado and an advanced manufacturing center in Youngstown, Ohio.
