Inside ZERO🚀 ZERO’s Blue-Flamed Engine is Powered by Renewable Bio-Methane ZERO’s engine, COSMOS, is powered by Liquid Biomethane (LBM) and Liquid Oxygen (LOX), giving its flame a distinctive blue hue instead of the usual red, just as seen in the video from last year’s static engine test. Liquid methane is an ideal rocket fuel, valued for its clean-burning properties, ease of handling, and cost efficiency compared to other common propellants. At Interstellar, we take it a step further. We are proud to be the first private company to fuel a launch vehicle with liquid biomethane, a renewable fuel. Our methane is sustainably sourced by repurposing cattle manure from the nearby local farms. The waste is processed in a partner LBM plant, where it is transformed into biogas and ultimately refined into liquid biomethane, fueling ZERO and paving the way for more sustainable spaceflight. This initiative not only contributes to carbon neutrality but also supports local energy self-sufficiency and promotes environmentally friendly regional development.

Inside ZERO🚀 A view inside the boxes that protect ZERO’s brain This is ZERO’s Avionics Box, designed and manufactured in-house by Interstellar to house the rocket’s avionics or the “brain” of the vehicle. These electronic systems, powered by sophisticated software, guide the rocket throughout its flight, determining its trajectory. Though it may look like just a metal box, it is engineered to withstand the extreme conditions of launch, including intense vibration and heat, which could otherwise damage the avionics. Contrary to what many might assume, a rocket’s intelligence isn’t centralized in a single unit. Instead, its “brains” are distributed across multiple components. In ZERO’s case, dozens of Avionics Boxes work together to ensure precise navigation and control. Take a closer look at the intricate craftsmanship in these pictures!  #interstellartechnologies #space #rocket #avionics #avionicsbox #newspace #launcher #development

Happy International Women's Day! 🚀 Today, we celebrate the incredible women at Interstellar and around the world who are driving innovation, and shaping the future of space. From engineering and manufacturing to business and operations, their contributions are essential to our mission of making space more accessible. At Interstellar, we believe diversity drives innovation, so we are committed to creating teams enriched by different backgrounds, work experiences, and perspectives. #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInSTEM

Interstellar’s Alliance with Woven by Toyota Featured in CNBC’s Documentary 🚀 Our capital and business alliance with Woven by Toyota, announced earlier this year, brings Toyota’s world-renowned expertise in cost optimization and mass production to the development of our ZERO orbital vehicle. This alliance was recently highlighted in a CNBC documentary exploring the latest trends in carmakers' investments in space. You can view CNBC’s complete documentary at their Official Youtube Channel. https://lnkd.in/dU-_AVvX Learn more about Interstellar’s alliance with Woven by Toyota:  https://lnkd.in/gegUKz6S https://lnkd.in/dEsNxy3N  #news #documentary #space #rocket

Inside ZERO🚀 The Story Behind ZERO’s Name Continuing our #InsideZERO series, where we explore the core concepts behind ZERO’s development, this installment focuses on something fundamental yet deeply significant—its name. When naming ZERO, we wanted something memorable and cool-sounding, but also rich in meaning. As a vehicle designed to launch satellites into orbit, its name reflects the elliptical path satellites take around Earth—forming the shape of a zero (0). Beyond that, ZERO represents a starting point. Since we’re building this rocket from the ground up as a private company, its name embodies the idea of beginning from scratch and pushing boundaries from step one. Stay tuned for more insights into the journey behind ZERO! 🚀 Learn more about ZERO: https://lnkd.in/g6m5rrmZ #InterstellarTechnologies #Rocket #Space #Satellite #Universe

🚀News: Interstellar Technologies Secures Additional ¥ 1.4 Billion From Japanese Government We are excited to announce today the securement of ¥ 1.4 billion (＄9.3 million) in additional funding under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program granted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan. The SBIR is a 3 phased governmental program aimed to promote the implementation of advanced technologies developed by startups in Japan. Including the funds of the previous phases the total amount has reached a maximum of ¥ 8 billion (＄53.3 million). We are pleased to receive the support from the government of Japan, this funds will be allocated to boost ZERO's development.

Our Board Director and COO, Keiji Atsuta, participated as a speaker at Hokkaido Innovation Week's Space Panel Discussion 🚀 The panel covered fascinating topics on why Hokkaido, Japan's largest and northernmost prefecture, is emerging as a commercial spaceport. Beyond its geographical advantage—allowing for launches to the east and south—Hokkaido has a long history of involvement in space activities. Currently, the island is home to more than 10 space-related businesses, including Interstellar Technologies. Interstellar is actively collaborating on the development of Hokkaido Spaceport, which will serve as the launch site for ZERO vehicles. Later in the discussion, our latest business developments and current alliance with Woven by Toyota were highlighted. Toyota's mass production expertise, which brings significant and innovative improvements to ZERO's production system, along with Interstellar's ongoing move toward vertically integrated rocket and satellite communications, are key to shaping the future of the space industry in the region, which now has an even brighter outlook. #space #japan #hokkaido #spacetech #interstellartechnologies #conference #rocket *Photo provided by Hokkaido Innovation Week
