At the Space Launch Corporation, we are dedicated to identifying and solving those problems which are of paramount importance to operators and manufacturers of small and university-class payloads. We have identified the unique needs that exist within this market niche and how to provide the kinds of solutions that this segment has long deserved.

Toward this end, the company is currently developing a low cost, dedicated launch system for micro satellites and other small payloads. Current launch options for micro satellites include riding as secondary payloads or multiple manifesting on larger launch vehicles. These options do not allow the operators of individual satellites to choose their launch window or destination. Our service will allow the satellite operator to select the launch date and the orbital destination to suit their specific mission requirements.

The backbone of the company's dedicated service will be the SLC-1 launch system. This system is comprised of two major subsystems - the launch platform (carrier aircraft) and an air-launched booster. The launch platform is a standard jet aircraft suitably modified to carry and deploy the booster vehicle. The booster itself is a small expendable launch vehicle utilizing multiple solid-motor stages.

Turnkey, dedicated, and affordable: the Space Launch Corporation is working to become a leader in the micro satellite launch industry.
