Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA) was founded with the vision to enable business in space to better understand, connect and protect our planet Earth. Our first launch system, RFA ONE, features high efficiency staged combustion rocket engines and offers up to 1,300kg performance to SSO. Thanks to its Redshift OTV and access to a global portfolio of spaceports, RFA ONE provides unrivalled affordability and agility for all orbits including deployment of satellite constellations in LEO as well as launch services to MEO, HEO, GTO, GEO and even cislunar domain.

Team Sweden meets BR/ARTE!

Last week a camera team from BR/ARTE flew with us to Kiruna in Sweden, where we have our engine and upper stage test facilities at SSC - Swedish Space Corporation. The team accompanied us to film an important hot fire test.

PS: The documentary will be finished in April 2024. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates...👀

Ice hockey is a team sport, just like building our #RFAONE!

Last week, we cheered on the Augsburger Panther at their home game against Red Bulls Munich.

We had our own squad onsite, with team members from HR, Marketing and Production spreading the word about RFA with hockey fans.

A big thanks to everyone who dropped by the stand to learn about our mission. Congrats to the Panther on their win, the game was amazing!

Amazing news from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Space Agency Kleinsatellitenkonferenz today – the second flight of our RFA ONE is fully booked!

Several payloads will be flying with us with very different missions and we are proud to welcome them on board our RFA ONE. Next stop "500km SSO".
