Eris TestFlight1 experienced an in-flight anomaly that resulted in the vehicle being lost within the designated safety area.
Analysis of the Eris TestFlight1 flight identified two independent failure modes originating from the oxidiser pump subsystem.
A second first-stage hybrid rocket motor on Eris TestFlight1 showed similar behaviour at around 17 seconds, reducing vehicle performance and ending the mission early.
The ERIS/NIX instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope provided data for the J1453g study.
INAF Florence built the adaptive optics module for ERIS/NIX on the Very Large Telescope.
Commercial activity for vehicles such as Miura 5 and Eris is expected to begin during the 2026–2027 period to test launch cadence against established LEO rideshare services.
