Beyond Earth
Beyond Imagination
Be On The Next Flight
Rocketplane Global, Inc. is designing state-of-the-art reusable spacecraft. Our spaceplane designs push the boundaries of conventional aerospace thinking as we plan for high reusability and reliability.
The Ultimate Experience to Space
Designed with Precision
The Rocketplane XP Vehicle is a four-seat fighter-sized vehicle fitted with a high performance wing and a T-tail which provide good flight characteristics both subsonically and supersonically. The cabin environment is designed to maintain a comfortable temperature and pressure for the occupants while providing an excellent view of the Earth from space. It is constructed with many of the same systems as a normal jet aircraft, but also includes features required for its flight into space including its rocket engine, reaction control system (RCS), and internal air supply.
Small Satellite Delivery
The Rocketplane XC is an ideal first stage delivery system for 200 kg small satellites. This reusable system offers a rapid turn-around, allowing for launches to be completed on a daily basis if required.
Large Satellite Delivery
The Rocketplane XS Vehicle is being engineered for reliability and maneuverability. Our patented in-flight fuel and oxygen transfer allows a small vehicle to carry a large payload. It's the only reusable first stage that can be simply refueled and flown again the next day. With jet engine ability to take off and land, it can fly from almost any commercial airport.
It will have a payload capacity 1,500 - 3,000 kg depending upon orbit.

Approaching Altitude
Our vehicles are powered by both turbojet and rocket engines, enabling them to accelerate to speeds just over 3,500 feet per second (2,386 miles per hour) and reach altitudes in excess of 330,000 feet (100 kilometers). All of our vehicles take off and land using the standard airport operation protocol, providing reliability alongside unmatched convenience and scalability.
