The name "URA" means "water" in Basque, the oldest language in Europe and possibly the root of all articulated speech. At URA, we are reshaping space transportation by providing eco-friendly, cost-effective, and high-performance propulsion systems. Water is the ultimate enduring propellant: it is essential for our species and will accompany us wherever we explore. (urathrusters.com)

URA Thrusters was founded in 2019 as a spin-off from the AVS group to commercialize the use of water in space propulsion. URA combines the top expertise in high-precision technological developments from AVS and its world-class research collaborators, including Imperial College London, Surrey Space Centre, and the University of Southampton.
