REUSABLE HIGHER SUBORBITAL ROCKET

Kelvin is a recoverable and reusable suborbital class rocket designed to carry small satellites. The vehicle has multiple fairing options based on payload requirements and mission profile.

The Booster will recover using partially guided parachutes, followed by a minimal maintainance turnaround time to return to refly.
