Company background and Colorado locations
What Ursa Major does in Colorado
Ursa Major’s Colorado sites have distinct propulsion and production responsibilities. Berthoud is the headquarters and supports liquid engines, vehicle integration, and solid rocket motors. Galeton supports the solid-motor portfolio, including large-motor testing and production. This connects engineering and manufacturing with the test infrastructure needed to evaluate propulsion hardware.
The Longmont manufacturing facility opened in August 2026 for avionics and in-space propulsion systems. Its published equipment includes welding and manufacturing laboratories, a cleanroom, and environmental testing. The local work therefore reaches beyond rocket engines into control electronics, tanks, thrusters, and integrated systems for spacecraft maneuvering, with different production and test settings across the three Colorado sites.
