Our reusable launch vehicle was designed to carry micro-payloads into space for distributed spacecraft missions – and even human spaceflight.
Description

The Vulcan Launch Vehicle is a two-stage craft consisting of a stratospheric balloon and a rocket capable UAV.
A first-stage balloon system will carry the launch vehicle to a designated altitude of roughly 100,000 feet / 30,000 meters (19 mi) altitude above the Earth's surface. Once there it aligns itself and the rocket system inserts the payload into orbit.
