Successful Fit-Check of the Maia Launcher!

Earlier this September, our teams completed a rehearsal of mechanical assembly operations, aka “fit-check” of the #Maia launcher at our Proto-Factory in Vernon — a key step in preparing for future flight models and industrial-scale production. This full-scale integration of #Maia (over 50 meters tall and 3.5 meters in diameter) involved the sequential assembly of:

• The Multi Engine Bay
• The Main Stage
• The Inter Stage Structure (ISS)
• The Upper Stage
• And finally, one Landing Leg prototype

This key operation allowed us to:

• Validate all mechanical interfaces between main structures
• Confirm the integration sequence and optimize workspace efficiency for future assemblies
• Test and validate torque tightening techniques for all bolted joints
• Validate operationnal performance of some tailored-built handling tools

With this milestone achieved, MaiaSpace is gearing up build for first flight models integration — and paving the way toward industrial-scale production, targeting around 20 launches per year by the early 2030s in our future Maia Factory, set to be operational by 2027.
