Our Roadmap
POLARIS pursues an ambitious roadmap, starting from commercial suborbital research, extending to satellite launch and manned suborbital flight, with finally implementing a heavy and fully reusable space launcher for routine low-cost access to space.
The scalability of the concept allows to utilize the same basic design for vehicles in different sizes and for different applications.
