SUMMARY:Launch RV-X VTVL / Test flight
DESCRIPTION:1st test flight of vertical-takeoff-and-vertical-landing RV-X small rocket (6.76 m tall\, 1.83 m dia.\, 3\,138 kg); 2nd test flight planned for March 14. \nRV-X is the first of two flight experiments planned by JAXA in developing a reusable 1st stage for a next-generation launch vehicle. A 2nd vehicle planned to fly NET early 2027 is under the Callisto program (for Cooperative Action Leading to Launcher Innovation for Toss-Back Stage Operation) with partners from France and Germany. \nThe RV-X and Callisto projects are intended to acquire technology for safely operating reusable launch vehicles using liquid hydrogen as a fuel. This offers a higher specific impulse than kerosene or methane\, for a lighter vehicle\, but poses handling challenges\, JAXA says.
