Objective

Latitude, a French launcher company, ambitions to become a world leading end-to-end space access provider, by developing and operating a dedicated micro-launcher called “Zephyr”. Zephyr is a launch vehicle which will be able to place small satellites of up to 200 kg in a Low Earth Orbit. This launch solution is expected to be nimble, reliable, reactive, and affordable to allow small satellites to embark on their own dedicated micro launcher. The cornerstone of these services is Zephyr, powered by an in-house designed rocket engine, Navier and an innovative low-cost launchpad system which allows an easy rescheduling, launching from several launchpads without launchpad-specific design, and therefore scale economies.
