Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA) One at SaxaVord Spaceport, UK, with all of the rocket’s nine Helix engines installed. Each engine was tested at the Esrange Space Center in Sweden before being delivered to SaxaVord.
RFA One is an orbital vehicle to be launched from its Saxavord launch pad in the UK. Measuring 30 m tall and 2 m in diameter, RFA One targets a deployment capability of up to 1300 kg to a 500 km polar orbit.
The RFA One launch vehicle is being developed in Augsburg, Germany, with hot-fire tests of the engine and second stage performed at the Esrange Space Center in Sweden, under an initial Boost! co-funding committed by ESA in 2022. RFA is also one of the European launch service providers to receive ESA support for its ramp-up phases to accelerate launch service deployment as part of the European Launcher Challenge.
