SBIR-STTR Award

Ursa Major Technologies, Inc. ("Ursa") is a designer and manufacturer of the highest performing, lowest cost, and most reliable rocket engines for the space launch and hypersonic markets. Ursa proposes the initial steps in the development of a 50,000 lbf liquid oxygen/hydrogen fuel rich staged combustion rocket engine for upper stages on medium and heavy lift launch vehicles. The engine will provide an increased performance domestic source replacement for the RL-10, the legacy upper-stage engine currently slotted for the majority of next generation launch vehicles serving the Air Force's National Security Launch Missions as well as the NASA Space Launch System ("SLS"). The engine will utilize the latest in 3D printing and agile engine development to deliver 2x the thrust of an RL-10 at a production price per pound of thrust 10x lower
