Icarus Aerospace · The mission is the Sun
Our mission: reach the Sun.
Icarus flew too close. We intend to arrive. Every rocket, capsule and satellite we fly takes us a step nearer the hardest journey in the solar system, and gets your payload to orbit on the way.

The fleet
One company, every step to orbit.
From a dedicated small launch to a fully reusable super-heavy, each vehicle is designed, built and flown in-house.
Engineered for reuse
The booster comes home. Every time.
Meridian’s first stage flies back, lands on its legs and is ready to fly again in weeks. Reuse is how we keep the price per kilogram falling while the launch rate climbs.
Project Lantern
Broadband from low orbit, anywhere on Earth.
Thousands of flat-panel satellites, linked by laser and launched on our own rockets, bring low-latency internet to ships at sea, aircraft and the most remote sites.

Cape Varra Spaceport
Built where we launch.
Our factory, test stands and two launch complexes sit on one coastal site, so a vehicle can roll from the integration hall to the pad in a day. Close to the equator, open ocean to the east, and room to grow.
