Phantom Space plans to create high-tech aerospace jobs in Tucson as part of Daytona development.
Approximately 80% of the assets acquired from Vector Launch will help accelerate development of Phantom Space’s Daytona rocket.
AURA AERO is building a $172.5 million, 500,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Daytona Beach to produce up to 100 aircraft per year beginning in 2029.
The Falcon 9 rocket was launched from Daytona Beach, Florida.
Phantom Space plans to stage its first Daytona flights in 2024 with NASA CubeSats among the first payloads.
The Daytona rocket is powered by ten Hadley engines supplied by Ursa Major of Colorado.
Phantom Space is designing, building, and testing the Daytona rocket at its base in Tucson.
The Daytona launch vehicle is designed to place 450 kg into Low Earth Orbit for less than $4,000,000.
More stage testing for the Daytona Launch System is planned for 2023 at a Tucson-based test facility currently under development by Phantom.
The Daytona launch vehicle is designed to deliver 450 kg into low Earth orbit for less than four million dollars per launch.
An upgraded Daytona is planned for 2024 with a single Ripley engine on the first stage and a Hadley engine on the upper stage.
Under the agreement, Ursa Major will supply numerous Ripley engines for planned upgrades to Phantom Space’s Daytona vehicle.
Phantom Space plans to use Ursa Major Hadley engines to enable the Daytona rocket’s orbital launch in 2023.
The majority of the AFNIO™ satellites are expected to launch on Phantom Space’s Daytona launch vehicle, which is set for first launch in 2023.
