An interview with Kara Grubis, VP of engineering at Agile Space Industries about the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by SpaceWERX that Agile Space Industries won, for the Mobile Payload Processing Center MPPC, helping enable tactually responsive launches.

This year we have achieved true market traction with almost 50% higher revenue compared to 2022 and a 75% increase in orders. Agile was able to sign a total of 22 contracts, including tank and propulsion system sales (including our newly developed Ticonderoga propulsion system).

A new space race is just beginning, and we’re at a pivotal moment in the history of space exploration. The economic potential beyond the Earth is clear to commercial entities, and with space now declared as a “domain of warfare” along with land, sea and air, nations are also looking to gain the strongest foothold among the stars. Agile Space Systems is ready to serve both.

We’re excited to announce our first commercial sale of the LE144 bipropellant thruster for a deep space transportation vehicle! While we have already sold over 90 thrusters for commercial LEO and lunar lander applications, this new vehicle class represents a new opportunity with beyond-LEO transportation and servicing vehicles.
