HyPrSpace is developing a small launch vehicle called the Orbital Baguette 1 (OB-1), capable of launching up to 235 kilograms into orbit. The company is also working on a suborbital launch vehicle - Baguette One, intended as a technology demonstrator for the OB-1. The distinctive feature of HyPrSpace rockets is their hybrid engine, which combines solid propellant (plastic) with liquid oxidizer. Several engines will power the first stage of the orbital rocket and single engine with a modified nozzle will power the second stage. The Baguette One suborbital launch is planned for 2027. The company says it will not be cheaper than SpaceX but is committed to high-quality customer service.
