About

The RPS Suborbital Launch Vehicle is a single-stage, fully reusable vertical-takeoff-vertical-landing (VTVL) vehicle powered by the Centurion LOX/methane engine, designed to reach altitudes of roughly 50 to 100km for microgravity research, hypersonic testing, and technology demonstration missions. Guided and unguided variants are planned, with prototype flight testing targeted for 2026.
