Problem
Access to low‑Earth orbit for small and nano satellites is constrained by limited rideshare slots, long lead times, and high launch costs, making it difficult for defence, telecommunications, medical research, and commercial missions to deploy payloads quickly and affordably.
Solution
Omspace offers a reusable launch vehicle, Infinity One, specifically engineered to deliver up to 500 kg of payload to a 500 km orbit on demand. The rocket is designed for rapid turnaround, capable of being launched from a mobile platform within 24 hours of arrival, eliminating rideshare waitlists. By combining a liquid cryogenic engine with an ultra‑lightweight composite airframe, the system achieves high thrust and specific impulse while minimizing structural mass. End‑to‑end additive manufacturing and 5‑axis CNC machining reduce part count and production time, enhancing reliability and lowering cost per launch. The reusable first stage is recovered and refurbished quickly, supporting a high‑cadence launch schedule for customers who need timely orbital insertion.
Target Audience
Primary customers are organisations launching small‑satellite missions, including defence agencies, telecom operators, medical research institutions, and commercial enterprises requiring rapid, dedicated access to low‑Earth orbit.
