ABL Space Systems

Launch and Space Transportation Companies

ABL Space Systems is an American aerospace company based in Long Beach, California, that manufactures deployable launch vehicles and support infrastructure, originally for sending small commercial satellites into orbit. The company was founded in August 2017 and was originally based in El Segundo, California, before relocating to Long Beach. In addition to its orbital launch vehicle, ABL has developed the RSX vehicle for flight testing and threat replication and Ironwood, a rapidly deployable ground support equipment system, all manufactured in the United States. The company later renamed itself Long Wall and shifted its focus toward missile defense infrastructure rather than commercial satellite launch.
