OrbitX was established on June 2, 2019 as OrbX, [1] a private venture by a group of youth including Dexter Baño Jr., Enzo Victor, and Paulo Sairel. [2] OrbitX's short term goal is to develop the first indigenous reusable rocket, and the long-term goal is to send the first Filipino to Mars and back. [3]
The rocket was made from 3D-printed advanced composite materials and measures 3 meters (9.8 ft) and weighs 15 kilograms (33 lb). It is designed to propel a Can Satellite (CanSat) around 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) into the atmosphere. [2] TALA is developed by a team of students and teachers from St. Cecilia's College-Cebu.
This comparison of orbital launch systems lists the attributes of all current and future individual rocket configurations designed to reach orbit. A first list contains rockets that are operational or have attempted an orbital flight attempt as of 2024; a second list includes all upcoming rockets.
The associated weaponry system of the Bongbong rocket is similar to the Soviet unguided artillery Katyusha. [4] The 37 dynamic tests were conducted, with most of the test conducted on Caballo Island. Four of the test were made in Fort Magsaysay. [1] The first successful launch under the project involved the Bongbong rocket.
The rocket had a diameter of 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) for the first stage and 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) for the second stage and payload fairing. [ 4 ] On the 24th of October 2019, the company announced plans to develop a three-stage variant that would be capable of launching 100 kg (220 lb) to the Moon , 70 kg (150 lb) to Venus , or 50 kg (110 lb) to Mars .
The Falcon 1 rocket was developed with private funding. [8] [9] The only other orbital launch vehicles to be privately funded and developed were the Conestoga in 1982; and Pegasus, first launched in 1990, which uses a large aircraft as its launch platform. [10] The total development cost of Falcon 1 was approximately US$90 million [11] to US ...
Gravity-1 is a solid-propellant medium-lift launch vehicle that can carry a payload of up to 6.5 tons to LEO or 4.2 tons to SSO, enabling the deployment of large-scale satellite constellations. Its maiden flight was conducted on 11 January 2024, breaking records as both the world's largest solid-fuel carrier rocket and China's most powerful ...
The KAIROS rocket (カイロスロケット), or Kii-based Advanced & Instant Rocket System, [1] is a Japanese solid-fuel rocket designed to launch small satellites of mass up to 250 kg to low Earth orbit and up to 150 kg to sun-synchronous orbit by the private spaceflight company Space One. [2]
