Fly Aurora from your local facility
AIRCRAFT-LIKE OPERATIONS
Taking off from conventional runways, the Aurora carries payloads up to 10 kg to the Kármán line, before gliding safely to land.
-
Aircraft - Fully reusable and inherently fault- tolerant. For example, if thrust is lost, Aurora can glide home and land safely with your payload intact.
-
​Infrastructure - Operates from existing airports and spaceports. All systems are road- transportable, enabling suborbital access from runways closer to you.
-
Airspace - Certified as an aircraft, Aurora integrates with air traffic in controlled airspace. This allows for more frequent and versatile flights than rockets.

RESEARCH
Enabling Breakthroughs Missions Across Key Industries
Atmospheric Science: Measure upper-atmosphere composition, climate dynamics, and weather phenomena. Repeatably target specific layers and locations to build more accurate models.
Microgravity Testing & Manufacturing:
Access over 100 seconds of high-quality microgravity for experiments and small- scale manufacturing. Refine your experiments with consistent, repeatable microgravity conditions.
Technology Development: Accelerate your hardware development by testing and qualifying systems in a representative flight environment. Reduce program risk through flight heritage and demonstrated airworthiness.
Domain Awareness:
Aurora’s payload hatch can accommodate various multispectral instruments. Payloads can be pointed to targets above and below the horizon for up to 80 seconds.
