We did it. We have officially achieved Space. At 8:12am Evolution Space reached the altitude of 408,456 ft (124.5 km) at Mach 5.2. We are now the 9th privately funded US startup to go beyond the Kármán line. #EvolutionSpace #SpaceLaunch #Rocket #Space #Kármánline

After 8 years of building, and as part of our continuous effort to get the highest volume of our product to the warfighter as quickly as possible, we are excited to announce that Evolution Space will become a part of X-Bow Systems. Read about it here: prnewswire.com/news-releases…

Today, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the foundation of our freedom—and we remember them with gratitude and respect.

Everyone loves a little smoke and fire! This successful static fire in support of a U.S. government contract marks another step forward in our mission to deliver reliable, responsive propulsion solutions for national security and defense. We're proud to support our government partners with rapid innovation and proven performance.

Today is a day for honor and gratitude to the brave men and women whose relentless dedication and sacrifice have kept our people safe. You’ve always had our back, and we promise to have yours. Happy Veterans day to those who serve and have served.

Coming to you from the stage at the Rocket Test Group (RTG) Conference, our team had the privilege of speaking earlier this week on location at the Mojave Air and Space Port. From progress updates for our Mississippi and California facilities, to introducing our newest team member and Director of Strategy Matthew Merighi, Evolution was able to showcase the many ways 2024 has been a great year and we’re looking forward to taking it to the next level in 2025. Shoutout to our friend Eric Schmidt with Exquadrum for capturing the moment.

Last week Evolution had the honor of hosting Congressman Mike Ezell (MS-4) @RepEzell at our initial medium-rate production facility located on-site on the historic @NASAStennis Space Center near beautiful Bay St. Louis, Mississippi! The CODEL delved into the challenges facing the United States and allied nation readiness due to bottlenecks and shortages within the solid rocket motor industrial base. We updated the Congressman on our 100 static fires, successful launch of our GCC vehicle past the Karman Line into space, and our recent off-shore sea-based launch from the Gulf. We all walked away excited about the opportunity to create jobs and revive manufacturing on the Gulf Coast.   A big thank you to Congressman Ezell's on-site team, including: Chief of Staff Joe Nicholson, and Legislative Assistant Beatrice Valenti. Evolution’s leadership team was out in force: Founder & CEO Steve Heller, CTO Justin Karl, Ph.D., VP of Production and Development Manuel Ballestero, Director of Strategy Matthew Merighi, Head of Government Affairs Michael Clauser (Shout-out @ark_strategy). A special thank you to our partners in the Mississippi Enterprise for Technology (@MSETtweets), especially CEO Davis Pace.

Hypersonic launch has a new test range.

We hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend, we know we did. Evolution partnered with The Spaceport Company to launch a sub-scale rocket from their offshore launch vessel in the Gulf of Mexico. The purpose of the launch was equipment testing and validation of The Spaceport Company's sea-based launch approach for both commercial and defense markets. Check out our partner @TheSpaceportCo and read the full story here: prnewswire.com/news-releases…

We are incredibly excited about sharing this next piece of news: Evolution has been awarded an SBIR Phase II contract in the amount of $1.2 MM by AFWERX to continue developing hypersonic boost and target solutions. Hypersonics and solid rocket motors have been the backbone of modern defense, and hypersonic research in the US continues to have a growing need for innovation and support. Evolution is proud to be doing our part in supporting and strengthening the US industrial base. Read the full announcement here: prnewswire.com/news-releases…

First shift starts with the sunrise at our Area 9 production facility. 🌅

Mission spec: <17km, >M3, ballistic trajectory. Weeks, not days; weeks, not months

Thrilled to announce the opening of our prototype integration facility at the Mojave Air & Spaceport in Mojave, CA. Continuing to expand our California prototyping campus will keep our mass production facility in Mississippi busy producing the latest & greatest in solids innovation.

From the team at Evolution Space, happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

Great to be recognized by Politico for being a part of the future of solid rocket motor production in the US! Politico Pro users can read the full story here: subscriber.politicopro.com/n…

Evolution is stoked to be on Capitol Hill this week and playing our part in keeping the US as a leader in solid propulsion and defense infrastructure.

At Evolution, we are filled with gratitude for all who serve and it’s our daily mission to play our part in supporting them.
