ÜF-250 Small Satellite Launcher Programme

A two-stage launcher with 250 kg payload capacity; the first-stage motor reached 140 kN thrust.

ÜF-250 is a programme aiming for the country to gain independent small satellite launch capability. In work that began in 2023 the hybrid first-stage motor was designed, and 12 static firings were completed in 2026.

Technical

  • First stage: hybrid motor, 140 kN thrust
  • Second stage: liquid oxygen–kerosene engine, 24 kN
  • 21 m length, 1.2 m diameter, 26 tonne liftoff mass
