This is our rocket fuel.
Rocket fuel?
You bet.
You're doing—
that's what you're doing? I'd like you to imagine just a day without access to your credit card, or a week without the ability to fill up on gas. How about months without weather forecasting? Space isn't just for astronauts anymore. It is the invisible backbone of modern society and our daily lives. Space is about the vital services that power our economy and protect our safety. We are launching and delivering the world's most critical infrastructure and satellite technologies for governments, for agencies, and for commercial operators alike.
Our launch and delivery vehicle system can be deployed both from Earth and from space, leveraging sustainable fuels, a result of a radical scientific breakthrough and a unique added manufacturing know-how.
Your special sauce is the environmentally better rocket.
It is the way that fuel interacts with the rocket engine that we have a patent on. It is the fact that it cannot burn on its own. The injection of the oxidizer in the combustion chamber is really what will enable that fuel to burn.
