The latest vehicle from Vortex, its a small sat launcher and a much needed follow up to the Vortex Carbon. It has 7 endurance engines on it first stage and one on its second, fulled by Kerelox and making the vehicle capable of launching 550kg to LEO. This makes it the perfect candidate for smallats, cube sats and rideshares offering dedicated launches for payloads that would once have to partner with a larger one. Rideshares are a huge part, splitting the launch cost of 5 million dollars between multiple satelites, opening up space to everyone. We are also enisiating a ‘Launch for humanity’ program, satelites for eduaction, the enviroment, and simply forwarding the the world will be offered a free spot on our launch vehicle, which will take off every 6 months- please get in touch if you would like to sign up. There is also reuseability, the boosters spash down with parachutes and are brought back for reuse. Stage seperation is one of the hardest parts in this vehicle, we have to make sure the altitude is 40km plus for a sucsessfull seperation. From its Carbon Fibre shell, to its revolutionary engines and its set of 7 high quality cameras with microphones streaming to the ground the Cyclone launch vehicle by Vortex is ready for loftoff.
Please get in touch if you would lkke to fly your payload, or have any advice :)

@CanadianPROTIVOGAZ I suppose... the joys of small sats haha. It’s hard to say tho, I’ve flown it at least a few dozen times!

Haha good point, honestly I could have just flown it inefficiency too @VortexSpace

@CanadianPROTIVOGAZ It can easily reach Leo with 550kg, that’s the kind of payload I was aiming for. Barely reaching orbit is pretty much a small sat launcher!

Good rocket there is nothing wrong with it in any way, as per request for feedback I have one small thing the rocket has just barely enough fuel which will severely limit the payload. Also as it is carbon fiber you can reduce the weight of parts by quite a bit I believe @VortexSpace

@Thesaturnaerospace Well... yeah, there both small sat launchers. I’ve been working on it for a couple days if you think I’ve copied you?
