Fenix creates launch vehicle that doesn't require specific launch pad. The company hopes to offer customers an alternative to vertical launch at a time when the nation’s spaceports are becoming increasingly congested. Its launch system is designed to reach orbit by first gliding behind a tow aircraft, then detaching and propelling itself the rest of the way. Over four flight tests, Fenix demonstrated its ability to separate from its ride in the sky and perform autonomous flight maneuvers using a proprietary GNC software and avionics package that will one-day fly on the full-sized Fenix vehicle.
