About Us / Michigan Space Technologies

Ambition grounded
in engineering.

Michigan Space Technologies, LLC is an early-stage aerospace and advanced-technology company developing launch, propulsion, and mission-system concepts.

Our purpose

Bringing Space Home.

MiST is working toward a future in which new launch technologies and mission tools expand what people and organizations can accomplish in space.

Our portfolio brings together Caelus electromagnetic-assisted launch, KRATOS liquid propulsion and the AETHER engine, and C3Po AI-enabled mission support.

Our approach

Progress through
practical development.

We connect concept development with fabrication, integration, controls, and test preparation. Caelus’s subscale system is a concrete step in that process.

We pursue research, technical, and strategic relationships that can help turn engineering questions into useful evidence and realistic next steps.

Leadership

Development support

A foundation for
the next stage.
