Space Engine Systems at Colorado Space Symposium!

Ask us about Hypersonic HyperDrone ISR Strike with a wide range, Hello-1 X demonstrator launch and Hello-1 launches to LEO. Every 3 days launch with multiple Hello series planes from the USA and UK. Chris Latham from SES UK operations based at Space Port Cornwall Defense focused and Greg Johnston USA defense focused will be there too to answer all your questions. We are focused on hypersonic launch from UK too and pushing hard to get all equipment shipped. Talk to us about your launch requirements to LEO and Lunar Missions.

🚀 Space Engine Systems at Ignite Space, UK! 🌍✨

We’re excited to announce that Space Engine Systems (SES) will be exhibiting at #IgniteSpace on February 5-6 in Leicester, near the @Space Park Leicester booth!

Dr. Sam Richards, our Executive Delegate, and Chris Latham, our Defence Specialist—both available to discuss SES’s cutting-edge spaceplane technology and UK expansion including ISR Strike and hypersonic missile development.

SES is scaling up operations at @Spaceport Cornwall, developing Hello-1, a fully reusable hypersonic spaceplane designed for low-cost, high-cadence small satellite launches. Using air-breathing hypersonic engines, Hello-1 reduces oxidizer weight, enabling faster, more efficient access to orbit with a 3-day turnaround.

Join us to discuss how SES is shaping the future of reusable space launch from the UK! Let’s connect and explore opportunities to invest, collaborate, innovate, and more importantly, book your ride to LEO from the UK!
Lowest cost trucking company to anywhere in space including the Lunar Mission.

🔹 📅 See you at Ignite Space!
🔹 📍 Leicester | February 5-6

Join Space Engine Systems @ IAC Milan Oct 14-18:Booth MN1-A02d L1 & Paper Presentation - Combined Air-Breathing and Rocket Propulsion System Trajectory Analysis for Delivering Payload to Space

https://www.iac2024.org/

Abstract: An opportunity exists for small payload launchers to utilize a combination of air-breathing and rocket engines. Incentives for a combined turbojet-ramjet-rocket engine mode strategy include leveraging the engine type with the highest specific impulse during the ascent and configuring a reusable spaceplane with horizontal and landing capability to enable quick turn-around. This paper provides advice to size vehicles for a given payload and introduces a trajectory optimization methodology using the Dymos library built onto OpenMDAO where inputs include lift- and drag- coefficients from CFD and thrust coefficients from pyCycle. Using higher-fidelity CFD data differentiates this study from prior analyses where it is noted that complex flow features associated with inlet performance are difficult to predict empirically. This framework will be beneficial towards the operational planning of Space Engine Systems two-stage-to-orbit Hello-1 launch vehicle.

The mission objective analyzed in this paper was for a three-stage-to-orbit mission whose airbreathing first stage achieves Mach 5 at 30 km altitude and reusable rocket-boosted second stage that ascends to 100 km apogee, releases a third stage capable of delivering a 550 kg (1213 lbm) payload to 600 km sun-synchronous orbit, and has a glide descent. Hydrogen fuel was specified for the ramjet and rocket phases. Preliminary results found that the take-off mass was 30,300 kg and 10,050 kg fuel was required. A 60% increase in payload fraction and 60% reduction in fuel cost per kg-payload were identified relative to the evaluated lowest cost small payload vertical spacecraft launcher that uses less environmentally favourable LOX/kerosene fuel.

Space Engine Systems is thrilled to present our cutting-edge hypersonic technology at the upcoming Farnborough International Airshow from July 22nd to 26th

Space Engine Systems is thrilled to present our cutting-edge hypersonic technology at the upcoming Farnborough International Airshow from July 22nd to 26th. Join us at booth 4310, in partnership with Spaceport Cornwall (UK), throughout the event for an exclusive insight into our aerospace/space innovations. Discover how we're shaping the future of hypersonic travel and beyond. 

Learn more about our recent selection for Hypersonic Missile Development by the UK MoD, or our HELLO series of piloted (or optionally autonomous) airplanes, which are engineered for ultra-high-speed travel, capable of exceeding Mach 5, and are designed to transport payloads to orbit and beyond, including the lunar surface. HELLO-1X, our Mach 5 turboramjet demonstrator vehicle, is poised for its imminent launch to showcase our proprietary designs. We can also deliver a complete ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) mission at Mach 5 and 32 kms altitude, and release a 550 kg payload at this altitude using our HyperDrone.
