Orbit 9 is the last launch vehicle in the Orbit series. The next series is 'Azure,' which is intended to be somewhat more based on historical launch vehicles.

Orbit 9 has a 3m core diameter. The first stage consists of 4 399kN kerolox gas generators and 2 1,310kN SRBs, and the second stage uses a single hot-staged 261kN kerolox gas generator.

It has 2 optional upper stages (that can also be used together), which are the hydrolox upper stage from Orbit 8 and the 2-stage SRM kick-motor from Orbit 8.

It has a total height of 40.6m, a fairing diameter of 3.7m and an estimated payload capacity of 30t (using a configuration with the base vehicle, the SRBs and only the hydrolox upper stage).
