Space technology company Umbra plans to establish operations in Reston, Virginia. The $6.75 million project is expected to create more than 100 jobs in Fairfax County. The company’s new 20,000-square-foot office will support its remote sensing data and custom satellite systems divisions. “As demand increases for high-performance, U.S.-built space systems, Umbra is proud to expand our operations in Northern Virginia,” said Umbra CEO David Langan. “A decade ago, we set out to transform how remote sensing data is delivered, and we have consistently raised the bar for speed, quality, and reliability. Today, Umbra leads in modern mesh antenna technology and persistent remote sensing capabilities that support critical national security and commercial missions. This expansion strengthens our ability to grow our team, hire top talent across the region, and build on our track record of delivering resilient systems faster and more cost-effectively. We’re grateful for our partnership with the Commonwealth of Virginia, and this investment marks an important step in our growth.” To support the project Governor Spanberger approved a $500,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund. Funding and services to support the company’s employee training activities will be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program.
