The Problem

Propulsion is an existential bottleneck

For the United States and its allies, national security and space industry growth depend on access to reliable propulsion. But right now, demand is outpacing supply.

9x

orbital launch growth rate in the last two years

54%

of all launch failures were caused by propulsion issues in the last 15 years.

$2.5B

of the global propulsion supply dissolved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The Solution

launch-ready propulsion systems

American-made, high-performing engines to solidify the U.S.’s leadership in space and defense today and for decades to come.
