Why Suborbital
The Fastest Way to Prove Your Science and Hardware in Space
A suborbital flight gives you real space conditions, 3+ minutes of microgravity, and your payload back in your hands, in weeks not years. You bring the science. We bring the range, the conditions, and the return.
What Proving on a Suborbital Flight Unlocks
Real Conditions, Not a Simulation
3+ minutes of true microgravity, launch loads, vacuum, and thermal. The environment your hardware will actually meet.
Your Payload, Returned
Recoverable flights mean the hardware and the data come back to you, ready to inspect, iterate, and refly.
Weeks, Not Years
Short integration timelines and frequent flights, so you prove, learn, and book the next slot while the work is still fresh.
A Fraction of the Cost
Suborbital proving costs a small slice of an orbital campaign, so you can afford to fly, learn, and fly again.
Who We Serve
Science
Life sciences, pharma, and materials research that needs genuine microgravity and a clean return of samples.
Hardware
Defence and industrial qualification, flight heritage, and component testing in true flight conditions.
The Flight-Profile Ladder
One family of reflyable vehicles, an expanding menu of flight profiles. Each profile proves a different thing.
-
1
Microgravity Lob
Straight up, straight down, 3+ minutes of microgravity, payload recovered. Flying today on Mini Meggs.
-
2
Extended Climb
Higher and heavier, for payloads that have outgrown the small vehicle.
-
3
Hypersonic Test Boost
Sustained hypersonic conditions to prove glide bodies, seekers, and thermal protection in real flight.
-
4
Plane Boost
Carrying air-breathing hypersonic vehicles to their operating envelope and releasing them.
-
5
Re-Entry and Return
Controlled re-entry for heat shields, capsules, and sample return.
Every profile sells the same thing. Fast, repeatable, affordable access to flight conditions you cannot get any other way.
Why Cadence
Proving Is Not a One-Shot
The alternatives fly once or twice a year. One slot, a long wait, and a single chance to get it right. We fly cheap and often, so a flight is a step, not a gamble. Miss something, adjust, and you are back on a flight within weeks. Cadence is the difference between proving once and proving until it is right.
Proof
"An opportunity to test in microgravity conditions in Australia is what we have been looking for."
