Orienspace Technology – Gravity Series Launch Vehicles

Problem and implemented solution

The global demand for cost-effective and reliable commercial satellite launch services is rapidly increasing, but existing solutions are often expensive and lack flexibility. Orienspace Technology addresses this issue by developing the Gravity series of launch vehicles, designed to provide affordable and efficient space launch services. The company has developed Gravity-1, a medium-lift launch vehicle, and is working on Gravity-2, a heavy-lift reusable vehicle, both aimed at enhancing cost-efficiency and payload capacity. These rockets are designed for both ground and sea launches, making them versatile and scalable for various mission needs.
