Ursa Major

America's independent rocket propulsion company

AerospaceDefenseAdditive mfg
What they build

The product

Ursa Major designs and manufactures liquid rocket engines (Hadley, Ripley, Draper) and 3D-printed solid rocket motors for space launch, hypersonic missiles, and tactical defense systems — selling propulsion as a merchant supplier rather than vertically integrating into a launch company.

Why it matters

The thesis

The US has a critical shortage of solid rocket motor capacity and independent liquid engines. Ursa Major rebuilds an industrial base that today is dominated by a handful of primes, decoupling propulsion supply from any one launch provider.
