The Boron-Enhanced Electric Propulsion (BEEP) Drive is a fusion-powered space engine developed by RocketStar.
RocketStar plans to return to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida in March 2023 for a flight test of a larger rocket.
The larger RocketStar rocket planned for March 2023 has a payload capacity that may be upwards of 150 kg.
RocketStar is building toward a first orbital insertion mission on a larger launch vehicle in 2023 using data from Cowbell missions.
RocketStar received regulatory approval to launch Cowbell from a floating barge off the coast of Florida and then canceled the mission three days ahead of liftoff citing safety concerns.
RocketStar had planned to launch Cowbell on its first suborbital launch in early 2019 to test a proprietary aerospike engine.
