- The Pallas-1 is a partly reusable two-stage medium-lift orbital launch vehicle currently in development,
with its inaugural flight anticipated in 2025. The first stage will have legs and grid fins to allow recovery by
vertical landing (much like the SpaceX Falcon 9). The first stage of Pallas-1 uses seven “CQ-50” liquid oxygen/kerosene
engines, with a lift-off mass of 283 tons and a maximum payload capacity to low Earth orbit (LEO) of 8 tons. Using three
Pallas-1 booster cores as its first stage, the rocket will be capable of putting a 17.5-tonne payload into low Earth orbit (LEO).
- The 283t Pallas-1 will be powered by 7 WELKIN engines and able to send 8t payloads to LEO. The capacity can be
doubled to 17.5t with three boosters strapped as the first stage.
