About Maritime Launch
Maritime Launch brings together the necessary skills, assets, launch vehicle technology, and infrastructure to serve the rapidly growing commercial space launch requirements for satellites. Leveraging highly reliable and mission-proven launch vehicles designed by Yuzhnoye, Maritime Launch will offer the most efficient lift capacity to address the launch requirements of the fast-growing LEO space industry worldwide.
Safe and Affordable Orbital Access
Today, there are very few launch locations globally that serve the commercial market, and even fewer that serve a wide range of launch trajectories to polar and sun-synchronous orbits. Our mission is to develop an extremely safe, efficient, and cost-effective launch facility where we will help clients by meeting all their orbital access needs to LEO.
Our Team
Our team brings decades of engineering, program management, and business development expertise in the aerospace industry and has engaged in launch service activities at nearly every spaceport world-wide.
