Agile Space Industries, also known as Agile Space Propulsion, is a designer and manufacturer specializing in chemical propulsion systems, including thrusters and rocket engines for spacecraft. They utilize advanced additive manufacturing (3D printing) and hot fire testing to rapidly develop and deliver in-space propulsion solutions for civil, commercial, and military markets. Agile is also developing the Tulsa Space Test Center (TSTC), a facility dedicated to in-space propulsion testing. Lockheed Martin is among their investors and they supply thrusters for lunar landers being built by Astrobotic Technology and ispace.
