Blue Horizons Aerospace Introduces Definitive Plans to Offer Suborbital Launch Services by 2030
NEW YORK, New York, August 24, 2024 – Blue Horizons Aerospace, LLC (BHA) today formally introduced definitive plans to offer suborbital launch services to commercial customers by 2030. BHA’s future launch services will enable commercial customers (including government agencies, national security communities, and defense and aerospace contractors) to test and validate advanced micro-scale payloads, vehicles, and platforms under supersonic conditions.
“A substantial increase in demand has been observed for suborbital launch services in recent years from a growing number of commercial customers,” says Noah Caswell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at BHA. “Basic suborbital testbed capabilities are becoming a requirement for most in the aerospace industry. While a select number of larger aerospace contractors do currently offer comprehensive suborbital launch services, their pricing structures are often prohibitive and do not offer the basic services needed by the vast majority.”
BHA is strategically positioned to offer suborbital launch services because of the advancements and technological progress achieved from sustained amateur rocketry operations. BHA’s launch services will be offered on a suborbital launch vehicle which in part will be derived from systems, hardware, and architecture developed under BHA’s amateur rocketry operations. Developing future vehicles with the capability of offering these services from legacy BHA hardware and architecture allows for a competitive and cost-effective solution for many customers.
BHA’s amateur rocketry operations will continue over the coming years, providing critical support for the developments and advancements necessary to offer suborbital launch services in the next five to seven years. Continuing existing operations will ensure a seamless transition into offering dedicated launch services. BHA is planning the development of four to five test vehicles prior to the completion of a suborbital rocket. These efforts, including initiatives under our amateur rocketry operations, will progressively integrate new technologies and architecture, culminating in a validated suborbital launch vehicle.
Further information and additional details regarding BHA’s suborbital launch service plans and strategic business objectives will be announced at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Unitholders. Additionally, BHA remains committed to offering investment opportunities that support our mission to deliver reliable and advanced suborbital launch services and continued growth and success of BHA.
