OneWeb will represent more than 50% of Maia launcher launches during the first three years of operations.

MaiaSpace scheduled the Maia rocket's inaugural flight for 2027, postponing a previously planned late-2026 launch.

MaiaSpace employees expect to conduct the Maia rocket's inaugural flight from the Guiana Space Centre facilities in 2027.

In January, MaiaSpace planned a suborbital demonstration flight of the Maia rocket in late 2026 using the full two-stage configuration with reduced propellant to reach a minimum altitude of 100 kilometers.

The Maia rocket in a fully expendable configuration is capable of carrying up to 1,500 kilograms to low Earth orbit.

MaiaSpace is developing a starter stage that is expected to increase the Maia rocket's payload performance by up to 1,000 kilograms.

MaiaSpace is developing a two-stage, partially reusable rocket named Maia.

The Temporary Occupation Agreement of the Public Domain allows MaiaSpace to begin dismantling Russian-specific infrastructure at the former Soyuz launch base site and to start construction of modifications for Maia launches from the site.

MaiaSpace's internal goal is to have a vertically integrated Maia launcher on the launch pad before the end of 2026 to perform combined tests prior to the first flight.

MaiaSpace is developing a kick stage that is expected to add as much as 1,000 kilograms to the Maia rocket’s performance.
