Mission Log

Flight Heritage

2024.09 — Suborbital

AETHER-I

Maiden suborbital flight. Successful SCRAMJET ignition at 35km altitude. Validated thermal protection systems across Mach 5.2 corridor with 100% telemetry recovery.

Mission Complete
2025.03 — Orbital Insertion

AETHER-II

First orbital insertion attempt. Achieved stable 400km LEO with precision guidance. Deployed test payload for long-duration materials exposure study.

In Progress
2026.Q2 — Lunar Transfer

AETHER-III

Trans-lunar injection trajectory. Will validate deep-space navigation, cryogenic fuel management, and autonomous docking procedures with the Lunar Gateway module.

Planned
2027.Q4 — Mars Trajectory

AETHER-IV

Interplanetary trajectory verification. Full-scale Mars transfer burn simulation. Carries scientific payload for Martian atmospheric entry characterization.
