We see a future of unlimited access to space. Our diverse fleet of rockets provides the easiest and most affordable path to space.
Maybe someday, anyway.
Our hardware is heavily tested in-house and is continuously being refined.
We strive to be the world's foremost launch provider. New designs and technologies are continuously being implemented.
Launch and land over and over, with minimal refurbishment between flights. Fly many times per day.
Eco-friendliness is a major part of AlectroSpace's mission. Non-toxic, renewable fuels such as water and compressed air are used on many flights.
The competition among space companies is fierce! We see headlines every day about corporations building massive, expensive rockets and racing to dominate the launch market. But what if the key to success is not by going big, but by going small? As in, really small? This is the innovative tactic that AlectroSpace is utilizing to outmaneuver our competitors.
Small rockets cost less to design, manufacture, and test. Smaller structures also weigh less than large ones, which greatly reduces the amount of fuel needed for a launch. While this also means that the payload capacity of the rocket is greatly reduced, we believe the benefits of reduced cost far outweigh the penalties of small size.
Case in point: the majority of our launches range in cost from just a few pennies to a few dollars. Now are you convinced?
What's your payload? Toy bricks? A camera? How about an altimeter? We've got you covered with our custom-built payload bays, designed to accommodate any cargo our customers desire to fly.
We manufacture our rockets using sustainable methods wherever possible. Recycled pop bottles are ideal for use as propellant tanks. Scrap materials such as cardboard or paper are recycled instead of simply being thrown away. And 3D printing components—such as nose cones or experimental rocket motors—cuts down on waste products that would normally be generated during the manufacturing process.
At present, we are certified for Level 1 High Power Rocketry, with a Level 2 certification attempt planned for no earlier than 2026. Many of our current projects are focused on the development and testing of flight computers, sensors, and other electronics, in addition to more powerful and complex rockets.
Our current long-term goal is to build and launch a rocket to an altitude of 30 km (100,000 ft) by the year 2034. If successful, a space shot attempt could follow soon after, aiming to send an AlectroSpace rocket into space for the very first time. While these events are still many years away, the progress we make today gets us ever closer to achieving the goals of tomorrow.
