Drone can send satellites into space on a rocket
In a recent innovation, the World's biggest drone will send satellites into space on a rocket. At 80 feet long and 18 feet tall, the Ravn X drone is the world's biggest drone, says Aevum.
Driven by Aevum's proprietary software, the drone would fly itself to a specified altitude, where it would launch a rocket to deliver a payload of small satellites to low Earth orbit.
Aevum says the Ravn X is almost weather agnostic and can launch in nearly all conditions, while 70 percent of the drone is reusable, with the company eyeing something closer to full reusability down the track.
It is now capable of sending low-Earth orbit satellites into space and is expected to save cost. The drone would fly itself to a specified altitude, where it'd launch a rocket, reports stated.
The launch system is 70% reusable, Aevum said. CEO Jay Skylus hopes to get that close to 100%. Aevum said it has already secured more than $1 billion in launch contracts.
