@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).
Launch date confirmed, January 30th, at NET 10:35 pm. Time is subject to change, but check back here regularly for updates.
20 hours 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.
4 days ago@AstrumY, ya 4 segment shuttle SRBs, but with the Artemis Booster paint job. And I may have meant 120ft, not meters.
4 days ago@AstrumY, you guys can compete. Puts a little more “hurry up” into it. And there’s no deadline for the Taiyang Shen.
5 days agoYes, and it would make integration much easier if the command chip/pod was easy to get to.
6 days ago@VectronTechnologies, Height ~120m. No inter-stages required, these are side boosters. Try to use a Phoenix engine for the booster, for max thrust.

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