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
