Aevum has revealed the Ravn X Autonomous Launch Vehicle today, which is currently the world’s largest Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), by mass, at 55,000-pounds. It’s designed to deliver satellites to space as fast as every 180 minutes in collaboration with The United States Space Force. Unlike ground or air launches, this unmanned craft utilizes a global, fully-autonomous, self-flying, self-managing, self-operating intelligent system of systems, called the autonomous launch architecture, working in concert to deliver payloads from any terrestrial origin to any space destination in low Earth orbit.

Using a fleet of Ravn X vehicles, Aevum aims to offer on-demand scheduling of precision orbital deliveries, as fast as every 180 minutes, 24/7, without risking human life. The first generation craft is designed to be 70% reusable , while future models will be 95% reusable. After completing its delivery to low Earth orbit, the UAS returns to Earth autonomously and lands safely on a runway before parking itself in a hangar.

Aevum is completely reimagining access to space. The current definition of rocket science doesn’t work for us. With Aevum, everyone will be able to say, ‘It is rocket science and I can do it.’ Aevum is pushing logistics to the next generation with software and automation technologies. U.S. leadership has identified the critical need for extremely fast access to low Earth orbit. We’re faster than anybody. To me, space is merely a vantage point from which the next generation can commit global progress. Through our autonomous technologies, Aevum will shorten the lead time of launches from years to months, and when our customers demand it, minutes. This is necessary to improve lives on Earth. This is necessary to save lives,” said Jay Skylus, founder and CEO of Aevum.
