INITIUM I
Rapid, low-cost access to LEO
INITIUM I is a partially reusable, 2 stage small-lift launch vehicle currently in development. Fitted with 9 Genesis I engines, it is capable of deploying payloads of up to 250 kg to Low Earth Orbit at a fraction of current market cost.
INITIUM I’s Genesis engines are powered by RP-1 and high-test peroxide (HTP), each delivering 25 kN of thrust.
Rather than a traditional gas-generator cycle, Genesis decomposes HTP over a catalyst bed, reducing internal heat stress, eliminating soot buildup, and removing the need for an igniter.
Somewhere, a star rises on an world we have yet to reach.
Access to orbit remains constrained by cost, cadence, and legacy system design. Small satellite operators are forced to adapt to launch architectures that were never built for them. We work towards making space accessible to small satellite operators.
Initium exists to redesign launch from first principles, optimized explicitly for small-lift missions.
