Blue Canyon Technologies Makes Inc. 5000 List of America's Most Successful Companies


Small satellite manufacturer and mission services provider Blue Canyon Technologies (BCT) today announced it has made the 2019 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. 894.

This is the third year BCT has earned a place in the rankings. Only one in approximately eight companies have ranked several times.

"We are at the forefront of navigating the new frontiers of space, and we are proud that Inc. has recognized our growth and contributions," said George Stafford, CEO and president of Blue Canyon Technologies. "This prestigious ranking not only demonstrates our company's success as a leader in the space industry, but also represents the opportunity we can offer to new, innovative talent as our company grows."

The ranking comes at a period of high growth for the company. BCT is currently building more than 60 spacecraft for government, commercial and academic missions. The company has doubled in size over the past 12 months and plans to open its new 80,000-square-foot headquarters and production facility in 2020.

Unlike many competitors in the sector, BCT is employee-owned and offers hands-on and immersive opportunities. The company is currently working on highly visibly, high-impact mission to low earth orbit, geosynchronous orbit, lunar orbit, and the first CubeSats to travel to another planet (MarCO). The MarCO mission just won the SmallSat Mission of the Year Award for 2019 From the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
