Umbra will invest $6.75 million to open a 20,000 square-foot facility in Reston, Fairfax County, creating over 100 high-tech jobs. The expansion aims to support U.S. innovation in space technology and strengthen the region's space and defense industries.

The project is backed by a $500,000 grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia's Opportunity Fund and services from the Virginia Jobs Investment Program. Umbra specializes in advanced remote sensing and satellite systems, contributing to national security and commercial missions.
