3 years can go by in the blink of an eye, but itβs also enough time to:
π Grow from 1 to more than 270 MaiaSpacers;
π οΈ Build 2 prototypes of almost all sub-systems of the Maia launcher;
π₯ Perform all kind of tests, from hot firing of the kick-stage Colibri to stages separation tests, cryo-fillings, pressurization, fit-checks, etc.;
βοΈ Securization of a launch pad in the most optimized spaceport in the world, the Guiana Space Center, and start of preparatory work;
βοΈ Signing of a first commercial contract with a key customer.
Thanks to all MaiaSpacers to their dedication to provide Europe with the first reusable, competitive and eco-designed launcher featuring the vertical recovery of the first stage on a barge at sea.
Exciting new milestones ahead, with a first Prometheus engine firing test on our Upper Stage later this year, and of course a first test flight and start of commercial operations in 2026!
