Hypersonix Launch Systems was founded in 2019 and has received a commercialisation grant of the Australian government in late 2020 for building a SPARTAN MVP, its fifth-generation scramjet engine.
Our SPARTAN Scramjet technology can be used for a variety of applications, including:
o powered by Green Hydrogen fuel generating no CO2 emissions and a fully reusable launch vehicle reducing waste and pollution;
o hypersonic aviation, drastically shortening the travel time and reducing CO2 emissions;
o any orbit from any launch site, high cadence, and ‘Plug and Play’ use of first stage booster and payloads delivering a sustainable cost and performance advantage in the satellite network refurbishment market.
