Launcher

Launcher is a company that develops and deploys rockets for small satellite launches and payloads into orbit.

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.
