Ursa Major

Important strides were made at the 75th anniversary NATO Summit this week, including discussions regarding the strategic role of space in the alliance's future. Space is essential to defense. Don’t take our word for it, take NATO’s:

Over the past six months a film crew captured Ursa Major’s journey from developing new propulsion prototypes at industry leading speeds to our Hadley engines first-flight in support of a hypersonic test vehicle. We introduce to you, the future of...PROPULSION. WATCH HERE: https://www.ursamajor.com/

“Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this program is the delivery of a versatile, storable rocket engine in such an incredibly short timeframe,” said Dr. Shawn Phillips, Chief of AFRL’s Rocket Propulsion Division, regarding Draper's successful hotfire. Read how Ursa Major is raising industry standards:

"Global conflicts like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or the brewing tensions of China and Taiwan, further highlight the importance of space-based capabilities to the world’s militaries." Investing in space goes beyond exploration. National security contracts are key to ramping up innovation and remaining a competitor within this warfighter domain. https://brnw.ch/21wLdPo

“Propulsion touches more parts of your life than you’re even aware of.”   A mini-documentary “PROPULSION”, brings to life the importance of advanced propulsion systems in today’s world and the innovative initiatives by Ursa Major to revolutionize a new age - coming this Thursday, July 11th.

In honor of our nation’s 248th Independence Day, here’s Ursa Major's version of fireworks: a 2.48-second Hadley hotfire 🚀 #PropulsionPerfected

The future of propulsion is here. The story of Ursa Major will be told in the upcoming film, "Propulsion." Witness the cutting-edge technology powering the next frontier of aerospace and defense innovation. Stay tuned to our social channels for more coming soon!

The rapid development and testing of Ursa Major's Draper engine not only outpaced our original production timeline but also outpaced industry standards. Draper's propulsion system is more than qualified to address the US Government Accountability Office's growing modernization and supply chain concerns. https://brnw.ch/21wKXuv

Ursa Major will be presenting this week at the National Space & Missile Materials Symposium on topics such as reusable propulsion for cost-competitive space launch and non-toxic, storable propulsion for DoD applications.   Join us on Monday and Tuesday in Madison, WI for an in-depth exploration of our Draper and Arroway engines' cutting-edge technologies and their industry-leading propulsion capabilities.   Monday June 24th at 2:50PM- Track One & Tuesday June 25th at 4:40PM - Track Four

You’re seeing Ursa Major’s 126th solid rocket motor static fire this quarter here in Berthoud, Colorado, following a 29-day rapid development cycle. Iterative testing is ingrained in the DNA of Ursa Major. Rigorous testing ensures reliability and performance for every mission. One of the reasons we love our Colorado campus is the advanced test stands and testing capabilities that drive our propulsion technology.
