Autonomous, reusable small launch vehicles
iRocket develops autonomous, reusable small launch vehicles to give rapid and affordable access to space for small satellites. Its main product is a small launch vehicle that can be flight-ready in under 24 hours and reused up to 20 times, lowering costs and increasing reliability. The rocket operates with onboard autonomy and is designed for repeated flights, targeting the aerospace and defense sectors. Compared with others, iRocket emphasizes very quick readiness, high reuse, and foundational partnerships with government entities, such as a Space Act Agreement with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and a U.S. Air Force contract, which differentiate it from rivals that rely on slower production cycles or single-use launches. The company’s goal is to expand the small-satellite market by delivering fast, predictable, and affordable access to space through scalable, autonomous launch technology.
