Solution Description:
We provide dedicated launch of CubeSats to Low Earth Orbit. If you need a specific orbit or a specific launch time, or your payload is not compatible with rideshare (perhaps you have biological or magnetic components, you have your own ride, or it's just so classified that you'd really rather it not be on the same rocket as anything else), we can launch it so long as it fits the 3U CubeSat standard. We aim to be the FedEx of space. (Not meant to imply endorsement from FedEx, UPS, or the USPS.) Our Cab-3A rocket air launches from F-104s stationed in KSC, 5 kg (total per launch) payloads up to 400 km (heavier and/or higher possible in certain cases), for $250,000 per launch. Among our capabilities for the defense market: * Responsive launch (launch 1 business day after notice of demand, possibly faster). * Low-altitude launches (e.g. 90 km, for satellites with engines that can stay in orbit that low despite atmospheric drag). * Next generation Cab-3B launch vehicle can launch from F-14/15/18/35, so the DOD can conduct their own launches (w/training from us). We are currently seeking funding to finish development, not launching yet.Contact Name:
