Almost 1 in 4 small satellites fail in space.1 Yours won't.
Most failures start with one part that was never tested in real flight. We fly your hardware to space and back, so you launch knowing it works. Then we take it to orbit.
A simple $100 part can turn a $10M satellite into space junk.
Today, the only way to know a satellite works in space is to send it to orbit. It's a one-way trip. If a single part fails, the whole satellite is lost, along with years of work and millions of dollars.
Freezing cold
Vibration
Scorching hot
Zero gravity
The only real test of space, is space.
Round-trip rockets for satellite testing.
- 01
Launch to space.
Your hardware rides our rocket to space, where it faces all the conditions that could break it.
- 02
Return.
We bring it home.
- 03
Fix.
If anything broke, repair it or swap it out.
- 04
Launch again.
Then fly again next month.
Know before you go.
Real space, not a simulation.
Every stress at once, just as orbit will hit it.
Find failures before they cost you the mission.
Catch the weak part on a test flight, not in orbit.
Your hardware back.
Inspect it, fix it and fly it again.
Launch with confidence.
Go to orbit knowing your hardware has already survived space.
Already flying.
4 flights.
3 of them in the last 13 weeks.
Commercial payloads flown and recovered.
Our first commercial flight was in July 2026.
Built in-house.
90% of the rocket, including our engines, is designed and built by our team.
What our customers say.
"A step change for building sovereign and commercial launch capabilities for Australia."
"Sunburnt Space has now successfully flown the first iteration of Parallax... proud to have Sunburnt Space as a Lab2Space flight partner."
