Revolutionizing spaceflight through precision reusability and advanced algorithmic control.
Historically, rockets were designed to fly once and burn up in the atmosphere or crash into the ocean. We are changing that paradigm. Our autonomous landing technology allows the first stage of our launch vehicles to return safely to Earth after completing its mission.
By recovering and reusing these multi-million dollar boosters, we drastically reduce the cost of access to space, making regular and reliable spaceflight a reality for commercial and scientific partners worldwide.
Our grid fins and cold-gas thrusters work in tandem with advanced flight software to steer the booster precisely to the center of our drone ships or land-based landing pads.
Reigniting engines while traveling at supersonic speeds creates a shockwave that cushions the vehicle, allowing it to brake rapidly before performing the final landing burn.
