Lunar Ascent 1 marked a major milestone for QuantumTech Dynamics as the inaugural flight of the OLV-1 rocket. Designed as a suborbital test mission, it aimed to validate the performance of the vehicle’s propulsion, stage separation, and guidance systems under real flight conditions. While the first stage performed flawlessly, successfully reaching its target altitude, the mission experienced a premature end when the Autonomous Flight Termination System (AFTS) was activated shortly after stage separation due to a second stage guidance anomaly. Despite the early termination, Lunar Ascent 1 was a semi-successful flight, providing critical data that will directly inform improvements to the OLV-1 system. It stands as a crucial step forward in QuantumTech's journey toward reliable crewed and cargo spaceflight operations.

Lunar Ascent 2 represented a significant leap forward for QuantumTech Dynamics, building on the lessons of its predecessor to achieve full mission success. As the second flight of the OLV-1 rocket, the mission was tasked with demonstrating complete vehicle performance from launch to orbital insertion. The OLV-1 booster executed a flawless powered descent, successfully returning to and landing at the launch site—marking the program’s first vertical landing of a first stage. Meanwhile, the OLV-1 second stage completed its burn sequence and successfully reached its intended orbit, confirming the effectiveness of the revised guidance systems implemented after Lunar Ascent 1.

Lunar Ascent 3 marked another key achievement for QuantumTech Dynamics, further validating the OLV-1 rocket’s capabilities. While maintaining the same mission structure as its predecessor, this flight carried a classified payload later revealed to be a Verizon 4G LTE-5G communications satellite. The OLV-1 booster once again executed a flawless return and vertical landing at the launch site, while the second stage successfully achieved Geostationary Orbit—a first for the program. The satellite was deployed precisely into its intended orbit, expanding communication infrastructure from space. Lunar Ascent 3 stands as a major operational success, pushing QuantumTech’s reach beyond LEO and into more advanced orbital operations.

Lunar Ascent 4 marked a historic milestone for QuantumTech Dynamics, showcasing multiple firsts in a single ambitious mission. As the fourth test flight of the OLV-1 rocket, the mission achieved the first successful reuse and reflight of a previously flown booster, which performed flawlessly from liftoff to landing—executing a smooth vertical touchdown at the launch site. The second stage of the OLV-1 not only completed its primary objective of reaching low lunar orbit, but also accomplished a soft landing—demonstrating QuantumTech’s growing expertise in full-stage recovery.

Commercial Payload Launch 1 (CPL-1) marked a significant milestone for QuantumTech Dynamics, showcasing the operational readiness of the OLV-1 system for commercial satellite deployments. The mission successfully delivered five Verizon 4G LTE-5G communications satellites into orbit, expanding global connectivity infrastructure. Both the OLV-1 booster and second stage vehicle executed precision landings, underscoring the rocket’s full reusability and rapid turnaround potential. CPL-1 highlights QuantumTech’s growing role in the commercial aerospace sector, delivering reliable, reusable launch services for high-value payloads. 

QuantumTech Dynamics successfully launched its Commercial Payload Launch 2 (CPL-2) Mission, marking another milestone in reusable launch technology. The mission saw the OLV-1 rocket fully reflown from top to bottom, showcasing the system’s durability and efficiency. After delivering its payload of four Verizon satellites into geostationary orbit, the OLV-1 booster executed a flawless landing back at the David Launch Center, further cementing QTD’s reputation for reliable reusability. With CPL-2, QuantumTech Dynamics continues to expand its role as a trusted launch provider, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and commercial demand.
