Herik Labs

Herik Labs Pty. Ltd. is an Australian aerospace company developing next-generation rocket engine technology focused on sustainability, accessibility, and scalability. The company's flagship product, the HL-1 rocket engine, targets 25% greater specific impulse than current industry state-of-the-art, is powered by green hydrogen (zero greenhouse gas emissions), and uses metal 3D printing to reduce production time, costs, and part count by up to 85% compared with conventionally manufactured engines. Herik Labs designs the HL-1 to operate without battery technology, enabling diverse applications from CubeSat launches to lunar rover deployments, and the engine's reusability and scalable architecture supports missions ranging from nanosatellites to larger launch vehicles.
