IOS UNIQUE ROCKET TECHNOLOGIES

Interorbital Systemswww.interorbital.com

-- NEPTUNE Modular Rocket System (three- and four-stage) Assembled from multiple Common Propulsion Modules (CPMs) Parallel- and tandem-staging options Radically reduced rocket system development costs Can be customized for a wide range of payloads Ideal design for assembly-line mass production

-- Environmentally Safe, Storable, High-Density Hypergolic Propellants White Fuming Nitric Acid (WFNA) and Turpentine/Furfuryl Alcohol Instantaneous chemical ignition eliminates need for an ignition system -- Low-Cost Propellant Tank Technology Proprietary acid-resistant tank liners and tank ends State-of-the-art carbon composite tank reinforcement technology

-- Blowdown Propellant Feed Eliminates the need for turbopumps or a separate pressurant system

-- Unique Rocket Engine Injector Automatically maintains propellant jet flow rate in blowdown mode Maximizes specific impulse over a wide pressure input range

-- CPM Engine is Ablatively Cooled and Gimbaled Ablative engines allow lighter propellant tanks Gimbaling allows rapid attitude correction in a rough-sea environment -- Canister Ocean Launch

Hawai’i Ocean Launch Option

Interorbital Systemswww.interorbital.com

Canister ocean-launch staged from the Big Island of Hawai’i is ideal for near-equatorial and lunar missions---and no ITAR issues! Interorbital’s Google Lunar X PRIZE Team SYNERGY MOON launches are likely to originate from this location, which is also well-suited for interplanetary small-sat launches.

Ocean-Based Launch Site

Interorbital Systemswww.interorbital.com

-- Pacific Ocean off the coast of Southern California

-- 135 to 175 miles west of Los Angeles on the open ocean

-- Launch direction is to the south for both polar and sun-synchronous orbits

Ocean-Launch Flexibility Advantages:

-- Launch site, orbit, and schedule can be modified according to the customer’s requirement

-- No extortionate spaceport fees or scheduling problems

-- Makes Launch-on-Demand possible!

-- Allows rocket to be positioned for any orbit

-- Doesn’t set a limit on the size of a launch vehicle

-- Requires only a minimum of launch support hardware

-- Rapid-response; no waiting in a spaceport line

-- The most cost-effective launch option
