Orbit 8 is a significantly more capable design within the Orbit series, being purpose-built for the GEO Space Telescope, 'The Eye in the Sky' Mission.
It has a 2.65m core diameter, with the first stage using a single 1,402kN kerolox gas generator, with up to 6 optional 102kN SRBs, and the upper stage using 2 61.8kN hydrolox electric pump-fed engines.
It has a fairing diameter of 3.35m, a total height of 41m, and a maximum payload capacity estimated at 12t to LEO.
The vehicle also has an optional 2-stage solid fueled kick-motor that can be used to carry a maximum of 10t to a somewhat higher LEO. The first kick-motor stage is controlled through RCS thrusters, and the second stage is spin stabilised.
