XS Large Satellite Launch Services
Rocketplane XS: Satellite delivery with a reusable rocketplane. Takeoff from any commercial airport, use jet engines to fly to 40,000 ft. Load rocket fuel and Oxygen from a tanker airplane. Then start the rocket engine and fly to 120 km altitude, Mach 11. Release a satellite with a booster to take it to orbit, coast back to atmosphere, restart the jet engines, and fly home. Simple operations, no launch pad, standard airplane flight protocols. Our patented process of in-flight fueling allows the XS vehicle to be only 50% bigger than the XC but is able to carry 10 times the payload.
Our vehicles are designed with high reusability, fast turnaround.
Rocketplane has targeted satellites needing rapid deployment.
In Air Fueling
Our spaceplane designs push the boundaries of conventional aerospace thinking, fueling implementing aircraft-like operations paired with high reusability and reliability. Our unique patented process of transfering the fuel and oxygen dramatically increase our paylaod.
Satellite Deployment
Our specialty is satellite rapid deployment services from any conventional airport. With standard commercial airline style operations, weather has a minimal effect on our launch abilities. The injected payload ranges from 1500 kg to 3000 kg, depending on the desired orbit.
