What We Do
MMA’s innovative, talented and agile team is passionate about creating Space Power, RF Payload and other Deployable solutions that open up a universe of possibilities for our customers. Our innovative research and development leads to the commercialization of revolutionary deployable solutions. We are in the business of forging relationships and breathing life into ideas. The solutions we bring to market have a positive impact in the world, and we firmly believe that our small company makes a huge difference. No matter what important function or high science the mission involves – whether supporting the American warfighter or finding water on the moon – we are committed to helping our customers accomplish MORE. Since 2007, we have achieved many significant milestones, including the first successful deployment and de-orbit of a space vehicle in less than 2 years with our dragNET de-orbit system. Two of the last five SmallSat missions of the year in 2018 and 2019, have been powered by MMA HaWK solar arrays -- including the first CubeSats to fly on an interplanetary mission on the Mars Cube One (MarCO) Mission. And, our P-DaHGR antenna flew on DARPA’s R3D2 mission, and demonstrated that a high capability, deployable antenna can be achieved in a very small package and in a short timeframe -- from CAD to low-earth-orbit in 20 months! Through Solutions, Exploration, Excellence and Disruption (SEEDs), MMA aims to enhance and preserve our way of life for many generations to come.
Why Work With Us
Space is our passion, and exploring is in our DNA. Our people are our superpower. Innovation is our way of life. We know we make a difference everyday. We believe quality happens by design. We accomplish MORE for our customers. Together, we know there's nothing we can't accomplish.
