Blue Canyon Technologies Tops Inc. 5000 List of America’s Most Successful Companies

Small satellite manufacturer and mission services provider Blue Canyon Technologies (BCT) today announced it has once again topped the Inc. 5000: The Most Successful Companies in America list, an annual ranking of the 5,000 fastest-growing privately held companies in the U.S.

Blue Canyon ranked in the top fifth, coming in at No. 698. The company’s placement on the list is a result of Blue Canyon’s growth rate of more than 670 percent in the last year. This is the fourth year BCT has earned a place in the rankings.

“As a company, we’ve made it a priority to invest in smart, deliberate growth and new hires as we work to deliver consistently innovative solutions for our customers,” said George Stafford, CEO and president of Blue Canyon Technologies. “This prestigious ranking once again demonstrates our leadership in the space industry, and the opportunity we offer to new, innovative talent.”

Blue Canyon’s diverse spacecraft platform has the proven capability to enable a broad range of missions and technological advances for the New Space economy, further reducing the barriers of space entry. BCT is currently building more than 60 spacecraft for government, commercial and academic missions. This year the company opened its new 80,000 square-foot manufacturing facility, the Crescent Satellite Constellation Factory near Boulder, bringing their manufacturing footprint to nearly 140,000 square feet across locations in Colorado and New Mexico.

The company recently announced the details of its contract award for Phases 2 and 3 of the Blackjack Program, a military space capabilities demonstration developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The contract has an initial award value of $14.2 million with a total potential value of $99.4 million if all options are exercised.

This, and other recent contract wins from the past year, will allow Blue Canyon Technologies to hire more employees, creating new jobs in an uncertain market and adding a vast amount of expertise and talent to its various teams. The company currently has 260 employees.
