Development of an innovative GPM for the ZEPHYR microlauncher
Latitude aims to become a leading space access provider by developing the Zephyr micro-launcher for affordable and reliable small satellite launches into Low Earth Orbit.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Latitude, a French launcher company, ambitions to become a world leading end-to-end space access provider, by developing and operating a dedicated micro-launcher called “Zephyr”.
Zephyr Overview
Zephyr is a launch vehicle which will be able to place small satellites of up to 200 kg in a Low Earth Orbit. This launch solution is expected to be:
- Nimble
- Reliable
- Reactive
- Affordable
These features will allow small satellites to embark on their own dedicated micro-launcher.
Key Components
The cornerstone of these services is Zephyr, powered by:
- An in-house designed rocket engine, Navier
- An innovative low-cost launchpad system
Launchpad System Benefits
The launchpad system allows for:
- Easy rescheduling
- Launching from several launchpads without launchpad-specific design
- Scale economies
