@AstrumY, okay, I guess. The only landers I’ve seen for the Artemis crewed program are Starship HLS and Blue Moon(Blue Origin). You could pursue a contract for that program, but a lander delivering 5-10 tons would likely not be under a CLPS contract. Also, what will the lander be called, and will you give each lander(mission respective) a nickname?
@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!
Dear @VectronTechnologies,
After careful consideration of the SRB designs for the Aurora launch vehicle, we have decided to proceed with developing an in-house SRB solution. As such, we will not be moving forward with the SRB offerings from Vectron Technologies or Astrum Y at this time.
I would like to sincerely thank both teams for their time and effort in contributing to the Aurora program. While we will be pursuing a different path for the SRB, we are excited to continue working with you as valued sponsors of the Aurora program and look forward to future collaboration opportunities. As @VectronTechnologies has put a lot of effort and time into the SRBs, they will still be featured as a sponsor on the Aurora post.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
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.
Hyperion Heavy lifted off the pad at 12:03 UTC. 97 minutes later, the Small Space Station was successfully inserted into the specified orbit around Droo. Than you @Darthan184 for your payload submission and support of the Hyperion Heavy program.
Launch is slated for 11:03 AM UTC on January 19th. Payload and launch vehicle will be integrated and rolled out tonight. Check back here close to 11:00 to see the progress or outcome of the launch. Will give updates as vehicle passes certain points in preparation or flight. Wish us luck!
@Darthan184, thanks for the submission. Looks like this should fit the request. However, I wouldn’t advise launching a space station on a rocket’s first test flight(just saying).
Also, we have plans for a private space station in the future, an inflatable module(s) would make for a large volume.
5 days ago@AstrumY, National Team’s lander is the Blue Moon lander. And my lander will be competing for the CLPS contracts.
5 days agoAlso, the IST looks cool,

5 days agoAlso, what’s SN7 and Capsule?
5 days ago@AstrumY, that’s still a lot for a CLPS-contract lander. They’re usually in the range of 100-300kg. Are you launching entire lunar bases?
5 days ago@AstrumY, TONS?!
6 days agoI’ll be competing for those CLPS contacts. Phoenix Luna is our next project.
6 days agoOrion Aerospace would like to congratulate the @AstrumY team for their spectacular launch and hard work in the program.
6 days agoWait, so the first Quantum Booster Flight occurred?
6 days agoTo add to this, Orion Technologies will modify its name, switching to Orion Aerospace, emphasizing its role in innovative launch vehicles.
19 days ago@VectronTechnologies, okay, figured it out. Should be available on my profile.
25 days ago@VectronTechnologies, I am not really sure how to upload something like that.
25 days ago@VectronTechnologies, sandbox as is solar system, because i just used the default for that.
25 days agoLaunch date confirmed, January 30th, at NET 10:35 pm. Time is subject to change, but check back here regularly for updates.
one month ago01/28/25, Name/Leadership change is official now! We are know to be known as Orion Technologies, a company oriented towards the cosmos.

@VectronTechnologies, thanks! Cost is not important, and I’ll integrate it he boosters to Aurora and see how they look.
one month ago@AstrumY, ya 4 segment shuttle SRBs, but with the Artemis Booster paint job. And I may have meant 120ft, not meters.
one month ago@AstrumY, you guys can compete. Puts a little more “hurry up” into it. And there’s no deadline for the Taiyang Shen.
one month agoYes, and it would make integration much easier if the command chip/pod was easy to get to.
one month ago@VectronTechnologies, Height ~120m. No inter-stages required, these are side boosters. Try to use a Phoenix engine for the booster, for max thrust.

one month ago@AstrumY, can do! Aurora is slated to be a high-performance rocket.
one month ago@AstrumY, looks like it will work. What orbit do you want it launched to?
one month agoIf no payloads are submitted, Aurora will fly the Ship 33 Memorial to a heliocentric orbit
one month agoAre you planning on posting the lander?
