Dawn Aerospace is a space transportation company. We build technologies that enable sustainable, high-cadence access to space—on Earth and in orbit. Dawn operates across two key domains:  In-space propulsion, with green thrusters on 26+ operational satellitesand Flight systems, developing the fastest, highest-flying runway-launched aircraft.

Our Mk-II Aurora aircraft combines the reusability of planes with rocket performance. In Nov 2024, it became the first privately funded aircraft to break the sound barrier from a conventional runway—reaching Mach 1.12 at 82,500 ft—and set a record climb to 20 km. Meanwhile, Dawn continues scaling its propulsion systems—offering efficient, non-toxic alternatives to legacy thrusters and enabling more sustainable orbits.

Together, these programs reflect our mission: making space transportation scalable, affordable, and responsible
