Fusion Space is targeting December 23rd at 20:00 GMT for the launch of the CSS-1 mission onboard a F2RE rocket from Pad 01B at the National Space Center.
This will be the first flight of the first stage supporting this mission (B2009.0). After stage separation, the first stage will land at LZ-1 just south of Pad 01B.
CSS-1 Payload
CSS-1 is the first module for the Fusion Space led space station project. It will be the first of three launches onboard F2RE.
This module is designed to supply power and regulate critical systems onboard the modules that will eventually be home to Droods.
This module also has the unique capability to completely change the stations orbit depending on the needs of the crew and our commercial partners.
