No turbopumps, recovered components, doesn't need a spaceport or a rocket gantry, plus balloon missions are an independent source of revenue while providing some base technology... It's pretty low tech in a way, except for the control systems. I haven't seen pricing information, but I would think they'd beat Rocket Lab. If the payload is a cubesat dispenser, the cost per satellite should be quite agreeable. | |

| Apr 24, 2019 at 20:43 | comment | added | Organic Marble | There's now a PDF users manual on the site. It drops a few facts such as: The engines are pressure-fed so no turbopumps. Propellant mass fraction is ~0.83 TVC is by electrical actuators, the 3rd stage has a cold gas roll control thruster system. The tanks are crossfed (Interesting!) Isp is 345-355. There's quite a lot of info in here. Document is here: zero2infinity.space/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/… | |
