About Adranos

Adranos at a Glance.

Boosting Solid Rocket Performance

Founded in 2015, our company manufactures solid rocket fuel and rocket motors to solve critical challenges in national security and commercial spaceflight. Our motors are designed to increase the range, speed, and payload capacity of military and space launch systems. 


With our proprietary solid rocket fuel called ALITEC, our rocket motors can substantially increase the range, speed, and payload capacity of military and space launch systems. 


We are outfitted to produce thousands of rocket motors per year. We operate a 450-acre, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in coastal Mississippi and a fuel production site in West Lafayette, Indiana that can produce tens of thousands of kilograms of ALITEC fuel per year. 


Our team at Adranos is comprised of industry experts and thought leaders from entities including Northrop Grumman, Aerojet Rocketdyne, Kratos, Blue Origin, and Purdue University.
