ThePallas-1(Chinese:Trí thần tinh nhất hào) is amedium-lift orbital launch vehicleunder development byGalactic Energy.[2]It features sevenWelkinengines burningRP-1and liquid oxygen (kerolox) in its first stage.[3]The first stage will have legs and grid fins to allow for stage recovery by vertical landing (much like the SpaceXFalcon 9).[2]
Pallas-1 is planned to be capable of placing a 5-tonne payload intolow Earth orbit(LEO), or a 3-tonne payload into a 700-kilometerSun-synchronous orbit(SSO).[4]The first launch of the rocket is scheduled to take place in November 2024,[5]while an initial attempt at first stage recovery using landing legs is slated for 2025.[6]
Using three Pallas-1 booster cores as its first stage,Pallas-1B(Chinese:Trí thần tinh nhất hào Ất) will be capable of putting a 17.5-tonne payload into low Earth orbit.[3]
