Nova 1: The Start of Something Big

At Phoenix Aerospace, we believe space should be more accessible, sustainable, and efficient for everyone. That vision starts with Nova 1, our dedicated small satellite launcher designed to meet the needs of today’s growing space market.

Nova 1 is more than just a rocket—it’s a stepping stone to the future of spaceflight. Built to be affordable, eco-friendly, and reliable, Nova 1 is here to set new standards for small satellite missions. Whether you’re deploying constellations or launching a critical single payload, Nova 1 delivers the performance you need without compromise.


The Nova 1 Advantage

Designed for Precision: Nova 1 can deliver up to 500 kg to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) or 300 kg to Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) with pinpoint accuracy.

Partially Reusable: While the first stage is designed for vertical landing and recovery, the second stage will be expended to ensure precise satellite deployment. This combination balances cost-effectiveness with mission flexibility.

Clean and Green: Powered by methane and liquid oxygen (methalox), Nova 1’s engines burn cleaner than traditional fuels, minimizing environmental impact.

Affordable Access to Orbit: At an estimated $10 million per launch, Nova 1 makes dedicated launches practical and accessible for businesses, researchers, and governments alike.

!!!CAUTION!!!
DUE TO ENGINES BEING SLIGHTLY TOO POWERFUL FOR THE CRAFT WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT RUNNING THE ENGINES AT 100% THRUST BESIDES THE FIRST 3 SECONDS AFTER LIFT OFF THIS CAN LEAD TO EXTREME PEAK HEATING AND AERODYNAMIC STRESSES ON THE VEHICLE!

Building Toward the Future

While Nova 1 is our first step, it’s far from the last. Phoenix Aerospace is already looking ahead to a medium-lift launch vehicle that will take everything we’ve learned with Nova 1 and push the boundaries even further.

This future vehicle will be fully reusable, representing a leap forward in both performance and sustainability. With the ability to carry larger payloads and support a wider range of missions, it will open new possibilities for commercial, scientific, and human space exploration.

Why Nova 1 Matters

Nova 1 isn’t just about what it can do today it’s about laying the groundwork for a more connected and efficient space industry. By providing dedicated, cost-effective access to orbit, Nova 1 supports the rapid deployment of smallsat constellations, cutting-edge research, and the next generation of space technology.

It’s the first chapter in a story that’s just beginning, and we’re excited to bring our customers and partners along for the journey. With Nova 1, Phoenix Aerospace is setting the stage for what’s next and we’re just getting started.

we already have test hardware, and I need two people based in the United States of America to help me work on this rocket for Phoenix space in order to get it off the ground You don't have to be an aerospace engineer for me I'm pretty young so just send me an email! so stay tuned. The future is closer than you think.

Contact me trough comments please
have a good day!
