🇪🇺 The most recent flight of the upgraded four-booster #Ariane6 launched 36 #Amazon Leo satellites, carrying more than 20 tonnes to orbit on a single mission.

#ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher warned that #Europe was heading towards a shortage of launch capacity around 2030

While #Neutron will be significantly more capable, with a planned payload capacity of up to 15,000 kilograms to #LEO, its availability will initially be limited.

Move over NASA SLS, SpaceX StarShip, and EU's Ariane 6 - where come the underdogs in mid-heavy lift space launch vehicles!

>> Relativity Space’s Terran R - heavy-lift, two-stage vehicle engineered to serve deep-space cargo and large constellation deployments.

>> Rocket Lab’s Neutron - medium-lift vehicle utilizing a proprietary lightweight carbon composite structure, powered by seven in-house liquid oxygen and methane engines

>> PLD Space’s Miura 5 - two-stage small-to-medium vehicle engineered to deliver ~ 1,000 kgs payload capacity direct to low-Earth orbit (LEO).

All three systems are expected to conduct integrated system test flights, full-scale hotfire verifications, and launch pad activations in 2H 2026. https://satnews.com/2026/07/20/commercial-launch-providers-advance-next-generation-heavy-and-medium-lift-vehicle-milestones-ahead-of-2026-debuts/ #Space #SpaceLaunch #CommercialLaunch #SpaceLaunchVehicle #Satellites #RelativitySpace #TerranR #RocketLab #Neutron #PLD #Miura5

#Skyroot’s rocket stands about 22 meters tall, with the capability to place payloads of up to 350 kilograms into low-Earth orbit. This makes #Vikram1 somewhat larger than the #Electron launch vehicle developed by #RocketLab.

Skyroot's ambition involves larger liquid-fueled fully reusable ♻️ rockets, with a “daily cadence” from multiple countries
