The Zeta rocket stands 32 meters tall, powered by 4 Ramur engines.
Following a successful static fire, the first launch of the Zeta rocket, from Max-Q Aerospace, is targeted for the 22nd of February. Backup opportunities are open on the 23rd and 24th. The launch will be from pad 1 at Max-Q’s newly completed Zeta Complex. This launch will boost a mass simulator and dummy third stage into a 150km x 150km orbit.
This flight will be the first launch of the Zeta rocket, which has goals for reusability in the future. While no recovery attempt will be made on this flight, the teams at Max-Q will be monitoring the first stage as long as we have connection.
Main Objectives:
-Successful full duration flight of the 1st stage booster.
-3 separate ignitions of the 3rd stage engine.
-Successful orbit of at least 90km.
