Dorado
Dorado is a suborbital sounding rocket with a diameter of 310 mm, and will have a single and dual stage version capable of delivering a 25-kilogram payload to 105 and 270 kilometers respectively. 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.
