About us

Rocket Factory Augsburg was founded in 2018 with the vision to enable data generating business models in space to better monitor, protect and connect our planet Earth.

Against this background, the company’s goal is to offer launch services of up to 1.300kg into low Earth orbits and beyond on a weekly basis at unmatched prices. With this, RFA wants to democratize access to space and reduce the launch costs in the space industry.

The RFA ONE launch service combines three key competitive advantages: A customer focused service with precise in-orbit delivery and a high degree of mission flexibility through its orbital stage; at a highly competitive price; made possible by superior staged combustion technology, low-cost structures and usage of industrial components.

Products & Services

RFA ONE is a three-stage launch vehicle capable of delivering up to 1,300 kg to low Earth orbits precisely, cost-effectively and flexibly. It is 30 m high and has a diameter of 2 m.

RFA ONE offers a number of unique advantages: Its orbital stage is capable of placing multiple satellites on different orbits with pinpoint accuracy, offering last-mile-delivery in space. The RFA ONE first and second stages are made of stainless steel and use industrial components making them inexpensive to manufacture and easier and faster to process. They are ideal for serial production. Our Helix engine uses a staged combustion cycle which results in higher engine performance, efficiency and allows RFA ONE to carry 30% more payload and reach higher orbits.

The combination of these factors makes RFA ONE the perfect choice for satellite manufacturers looking to launch their satellites precisely, cost-effectively and flexibly. The first launch will take place from Northern Europe in mid-2023.

RFA ONE

RFA ONE is a three-stage launch vehicle capable of deploying up to 1,200 kg to a 700km polar orbit. It is 30m tall and and has a diameter of 2m. The first launch will be from northern Europe. Its Helix staged combustion engine uses a pre-combustion chamber to power the turbopump, whose oxygen-rich exhaust gases are fed into the main combustion chamber. The result is an increase in the engine's performance which allows 30% more payload and the ability to reach higher orbits.
