About Us

Launcher Space develops advanced rocket engines and orbital transfer vehicles for small satellite launches. Their flagship product, the E-2 liquid rocket engine, uses LOX/Kerosene in an oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle, designed to be highly efficient for small launch vehicles. The company also created Orbiter, a spacecraft capable of carrying up to 90U of cubesats or smallsats to tailored orbits. Although Launcher initially planned to build its own rocket, Light (Rocket-1), this project was discontinued after the company’s acquisition by Vast in 2023. Launcher now focuses on selling its E-2 engine to other launch vehicle companies and supporting Vast’s space station development efforts.
