Phoenix Launch Systems
Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin
Phoenix Launch Systems, Inc. (DUNS # 117025293) was founded in January 2019 and is dedicated to developing launch solutions and products for the nanosatellite industry.
Our business strategy relies on three core components (launch services, cubesat hardware and software) which allow us to provide a true turnkey, end-to-end space utilization solution. Realization of our vision relies on successful development of the Phoenix cubesat-class launch vehicle.
The Phoenix nanolaunch system is a three-stage vertical launch vehicle with liquid propulsion in the first two stages and a solid propellant third stage. The design utilizes common propellants in the first two stages and a common engine design with nozzles optimized for altitude in a “plug cluster” aerospike configuration.
Phoenix utilizes a unique hydrogen peroxide-based hypergolic propellant that eliminates the need for a separate ignition system but also is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and the exhaust products are environmentally-friendly. This propellant family was fully developed and hot-fire qualified by Aphelion Orbitals, Inc.
and ARES Institute, Inc. in 2018.
We further matured the technology into Phoenix Launch Systems’ proprietary propellant mixture. The first stage is designed to be reusable using boostback, powered descent and vertical landing.
