MaiaSpace’s Post

🎂 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐚𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝟑 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡! 🎂 3 years can go by in the blink of an eye, but it’s also enough time to: 🚀 Grow from 1 to more than 270 MaiaSpacers; 🛠️ Build 2 prototypes of almost all sub-systems of the Maia launcher; 🔥 Perform all kind of tests, from hot firing of the kick-stage Colibri to stages separation tests, cryo-fillings, pressurization, fit-checks, etc.; ☑️ Securization of a launch pad in the most optimized spaceport in the world, the Guiana Space Center, and start of preparatory work; ✒️ Signing of a first commercial contract with a key customer. Thanks to all MaiaSpacers to their dedication to provide Europe with the first reusable, competitive and eco-designed launcher featuring the vertical recovery of the first stage on a barge at sea. Exciting new milestones ahead, with a first Prometheus engine firing test on our Upper Stage later this year, and of course a first test flight and start of commercial operations in 2026! #GoMaia #Reusability #Europeinspace
