Our Services
Microgravity & Space
Reliable suborbital launch services for high-quality microgravity research and space technology validation. From payload integration to launch, recovery, and data return, we deliver complete mission execution with repeatable access to space.
Hypersonics
Enabling controlled hypersonic flight testing for aerodynamics, thermal protection systems, propulsion, and guidance validation. Our in-house vehicles allow tailored flight profiles and rapid iteration to meet mission-specific requirements.
Solid Rocket Motors
We design, manufacture, and test solid rocket motors entirely in-house. Our propulsion systems are optimized for performance, reliability, and scalability across suborbital and hypersonic missions.

Milestones
Our story
What began as early-stage rocket development and years of relentless experimentation culminated in 2025 with a fully independent launch to 121 km at Mach 5.8 — a vehicle conceived, engineered, manufactured, and funded without institutional backing.
In 2026, iterative refinements pushed performance even further, surpassing the space threshold again, this time at Mach 6.1.
​
These missions were not demonstrations of theory — they were proof of capability. They validated a design philosophy centered on efficiency, precision engineering, and disciplined execution.
​
It is from this passion and lifelong pursuit that ExoFlight is born.
​
We have demonstrated that cost-effective rockets can achieve hypersonic speeds. We have proven that independent teams can reach space. And most importantly, we have shown that agility and precision engineering can outperform convention.
​
Our mission now is clear: to provide a flexible, cost-effective sub-orbital launch service tailored to the scientific community. Because every vehicle is designed and manufactured entirely in-house, we can customize the platform, flight profile, payload integration, and recovery strategy to meet the exact needs of each mission.
​
At ExoFlight, we don’t just launch rockets — we engineer opportunity.
The future of accessible space starts here.
