Space technology company Muon Space has established operations in San Jose, California.

The company’s new 130,000-square-foot facility, featuring 70,000 square feet of manufacturing space, including 30,000 square feet of cleanroom facilities, dedicated areas for spacecraft assembly, optical instrument integration, mission operations, and in-house propulsion system production and integration, will support up to 500 satellites annually in the 100-kilogram to 1,500-plus-kilogram class.

“Muon’s Mission Foundry represents a fundamental shift in how constellations are built and scaled, and this facility is the engine behind it,” said Jonny Dyer, CEO of Muon Space. “It’s purpose-built for the speed, consistency, and volume that our customers in commercial, civil, and national security markets urgently need. And it’s designed to support many different mission types, from smaller satellites to large, high-capability spacecraft. Today we’re celebrating not just a new facility, but a new era of satellite production.”

Muon Space designs, builds, and operates high-performance satellite constellations for defense, civil, and commercial customers. The company develops spacecraft, instruments, software, and operational systems that are designed to work together from simulation through deployment in orbit.

“We’ve always been a place where big ideas get built, and Muon Space choosing to scale here is the latest example of San Jose’s strength in advanced manufacturing,” said San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan. “Muon’s new facility brings high-skilled jobs to San Jose and will power work that is mission critical for our community and many others, including wildfire detection and monitoring satellites.”
