The Future of Rapid, Low-Cost Launch

The ATRX Hummingbird Space Plane is being developed to take off from a runway, deploy small satellites, and land on any runway in the world. We're 83% cheaper than a SpaceX Falcon 9 and 75% faster than a Firefly Alpha. Our initial product offering is an operational multi-mission drone (TRL 7) for U.S. Department of Defense customers that will generate near-term revenue.

Imagine fleets of Space Planes providing regular space launch service, making space launch as simple as taking off from any runway in the world. A future that has space planes ready to take off in less than 6 hours and the cost to launch is 83% less than existing vertical launch systems*.** We’re building a future where space is accessible to all.*

😱 Problem

High Cost and Bottlenecks of Vertically Launched Rockets

Vertically launched rockets are expensive to operate because of all the complicated equipment and large number of people needed to operate rockets this way.

Even the most advanced systems today use vertical launch and staging—in the same way as those at the dawn of the Space Age.

Atlas (1957 - 2024)

Starship (2023 - )
