Abstract

The American Rocket Company's Aquila Launch Vehicle is the world's first hybrid propulsion space booster designed to deliver 3,200 lb m (1,450 kg) payloads into low Earth orbit. By using AMROC's low-cost hybrid propulsion, the Aquila launch service will provide reliable, routine access to space; high accuracy orbital placement; and an unprecedented degree of production, ground and flight safety. AMROC plans to offer launch services to commercial, international and government customers beginning with an initial launch capability for polar orbits from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California in 1995. This paper will discuss the key features of the Aquila Launch System.
