Research abstract
ABL is a leader in rapid, flexible, and affordable satellite launch. Our RS1 vehicle and GS0 ground system can be operated rapidly, from anywhere in the world with a concrete pad, with a small team. This enables more users from across the Air Force to field their own space missions, increasing the operations that can be augmented with capabilities from space. In particular, the ability to deploy space assets flexibly and affordably will support tight-timeline, quickly emerging needs, including special reconnaissance.
