Dorado's hybrid rocket motor and pyrotechnic free payload separation are unique features. === Volans === Volans is a small satellite launch vehicle, designed to be modular and deliver 60 to 500 kg to LEO. Volans is 2 meters wide and stands 12–30 m tall and is planned to become a reusable launch vehicle with a unique recovery method, instead of propulsive landings like the Falcon 9, it plans to use rotating blades to perform a controlled landing at sea. ==Funding== In July 2024, the startup raised US$1.5 million in Pre-Series A funding, led by [[Farquhar Venture Capital]]<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-08-30 |title=Protégé Ventures fuels Singapore's space ambitions with investment into eco-friendly rocket propulsion space start-up {{!}} SMU Newsroom |url=https://news.smu.edu.sg/news/2024/08/30/protege-ventures-fuels-singapores-space-ambitions-investment-eco-friendly-rocket |access-date=2026-01-04 |website=news.smu.edu.sg |language=en}}</ref>.
