Our company’s new Heavy Lift launch vehicle Aurora, is nearing production end and is getting ready for testing. This means that we are also nearing our first flight. While many details on Aurora have not been released yet, the basic details are these: PLF is 5.4 meters in diameter, and about 20 meters tall. Launch vehicle can deliver about 30mt to LDO. If you want to launch your payload on Aurora M-1, leave a comment below, with your satellite’s URL, mass, and the orbit you wish it to be launched to. If your payload is chosen for flight on Aurora Mission-1, it will be featured in the future post of the launch vehicle, with stunning images of the payload. The creator of the payload will be mentioned as well in the post. Payload request closes January 24th, and launch will occur January 25st. Will notify creator of payload of launch outcome via comment below.

@AstrumY, @VectronTechnologies, due to good weather at the launch site, the Aurora Mission1 launch date has been moved up. The date is not solid yet, but check back here for launch readiness!

Due to a SRB integration anomaly, the launch date will be pushed back to NET February 4, 2025. Currently we are looking for a new SRB subcontractor to replace the anomalous ones, and if you have a proposal, go to Aurora-Needs-SRBs(on my account) to submit a design.
