Ursa Major

ICYMI: Ursa Major closed our $100M Series E. With this capital, we are continuing to scale up capabilities across hypersonic propulsion, solid rocket motor production and space mobility.   "The company’s next challenge will be volume. Defense leaders have warned that the United States must rapidly expand production across the missile supply chain. Daniel Jablonsky said Ursa Major is preparing for that pressure. “We’ve got to scale that up into hundreds and 1000s of things that the military needs now.”   Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/esTfnNKW

Ursa Major is proud to announce that we have has raised $100M in Series E funding, following a record-breaking year of more than $115M in bookings through Q3. This funding will accelerate our mission to deliver scalable hypersonics, solve the SRM shortfall for critical munitions, and enable sustained space mobility. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eaHzBkfF

As experts in propulsion, we knew there had to be a better way to solve the solid rocket motor shortfall in the United States, and so we made one. Our additively backed common modular manufacturing approach means we can produce multiple motor sizes on the same line, at lower cost and with consistent performance.   And this isn’t just a concept -- we’ve proved it works. Ursa Major is actively producing SRMs at a rate of 200+ motors/year with four different diameter motors. It’s not just about new technology; this is revitalizing the defense industrial base to deliver capability quicker. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gi8-GRQ6

Today, we honor those who have stood in defense of our freedom, our homeland, and for every American. When service members take the oath to serve, they commit to values that remain with them for life. At Ursa Major, we are proud to see those same values of resilience, courage, and dedication reflected in the veterans who help shape our company at entry level. Thank you to every veteran for your service and for the lasting impact you have made on our nation. #FlyFaster

Ursa Major continues to grow with the addition of Jason Gursky as Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Treasurer. Jason brings decades of experience in aerospace and defense, having served as Managing Director and Equity Analyst at Citi and as Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Treasurer at Maxar Technologies. His expertise on our leadership team will support Ursa Major’s mission to deliver scalable, American-made capability for the nation’s most critical aerospace and defense needs.

We were honored to present at the Payload Space Investor Summit today. Gravitics CEO Colin Doughan and CTO Scott Macklin, and Ursa Major CEO Dan Jablonsky, outlined the path to accelerated space superiority through new architectures. Key topics included: • Orbital Carriers and the Diamondback platform. • The Viper OTX (Orbital Transfer Express), powered by the Draper Engine. • Delivering critical rapid response, in-space mobility, and missile defense capabilities. Thank you to Ursa Major for the collaboration and Arkaea Media Group for organizing this important discussion
