The Helios AS-100 is a liquid methalox aerospike rocket engine capable of lifting ~100 tons into orbit, even at 80% scale. It maintains high efficiency from liftoff to 100–150 km orbital insertion, with methane regenerative cooling handling exhaust temperatures above 3000 °C.
Strengths:
Heavy-lift capability (~100 t)
Efficient across all altitudes
Effective cooling and reusable fuel
Limitations:
Complex design and maintenance
High thermal loads
Slower startup than simpler engines
