Phoenix Test Flight 1 — Confirmed GO for Launch
We are pleased to announce that the Phoenix launch vehicle has been cleared for flight. The vehicle is now officially Go for Launch, with liftoff scheduled for:
Launch Site: HCS, South Ageria
Date: 14 July 2025
Time: 14:30 UTC | 20:00 IST | 10:30 AM EDT
This mission marks the inaugural test flight of Phoenix, a next-generation reusable launch vehicle developed to deliver reliable, cost-effective access to low Earth orbit. The flight will serve as a full-system demonstration, validating key technologies and performance metrics ahead of future orbital operations.
Mission Overview
Mission Name: Phoenix Test Flight 1
Vehicle Configuration: Two-stage, liquid-fueled, partially reusable
Primary Objectives:
• Verify propulsion system performance
• Confirm structural integrity through Max-Q
• Demonstrate second-stage ignition
• Execute first-stage Return-to-Launch-Site (RTLS) landing attempt
• Capture full-flight telemetry and environmental data
This test flight represents a critical milestone in our roadmap toward operational reusability and long-term orbital missions. The Phoenix program aims to support regional and international access to space, with a focus on sustainable launch infrastructure and precision engineering.
