SIMI VALLEY, Calif., March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Frontier Aerospace Corporation ("Frontier"), a leader in next generation liquid rocket engines for in-space propulsion, announced today it has closed a $10 million Series A funding round from AEI HorizonX.

Frontier was founded in 2014 with the aim of providing innovative space propulsion solutions. Frontier has a proven rapid development approach that produces reliable mission-optimized and extensively tested designs at low cost.

"This latest funding round will accelerate Frontier's engine development activities, support major expansion of manufacturing and vacuum test facilities," said Mr. McKinnon, Frontier President.
