The Skyrora XL from Skyrora is a Three-Stage, Light-Class Orbital Launch Vehicle engineered to deliver small satellite payloads to Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) and polar orbits. The vehicle is designed to deploy payloads into SSO at altitudes between 500 km and 1,000 km, as well as polar orbits ranging from 200 km to 1,000 km, supporting a wide variety of Earth observation, scientific and commercial smallsat missions.

Skyrora XL utilizes a common propulsion architecture across all three stages based on high-test peroxide (HTP) and kerosene, offering a balance of performance, safety and operational simplicity. The launch vehicle measures 22.7 meters in length with a diameter of 2.2 meters and has a total lift-off mass of approximately 55,838 kg. It is capable of delivering payloads of up to 315 kg to target orbits.

The first stage is powered by nine turbopump-fed Skyforce engines, generating 70 kN of thrust at sea level and up to 79.7 kN in vacuum, with specific impulse values of approximately 250.24 seconds at sea level and 284.91 seconds in vacuum. The second stage employs a single Skyforce engine producing 85 kN of vacuum thrust with an ISP of 306 seconds. The third stage is equipped with a LEO engine delivering 3.5 kN of vacuum thrust, an ISP of 305 seconds, and multiple re-ignition capability for precise orbital insertion and mission flexibility.

With its dedicated small satellite focus, multi-burn upper stage capability and environmentally conscious propulsion approach, Skyrora XL is positioned as a responsive and cost-effective launch solution for modern smallsat and constellation deployment missions.
