About
BOOSTER is Liftero’s scalable green chemical propulsion line, engineered for series production to remove the propulsion bottleneck in smallsat manufacturing. It uses self-pressurizing, globally available, low-cost N2O/C2H6 propellants, offering cold-start capability with no thermal limits or cooldowns, and is configurable by thrust level, degrees-of-freedom, total impulse, and interface. The company’s RED5 mission flew on SpaceX Transporter-13 in March 2025 as the first Polish propulsion system in orbit, going from concept to flight in 15 months. The line spans BOOSTER 5 (2-5 kNs), BOOSTER 10 (5-25 kNs), and BOOSTER 25 (25-50 kNs) variants.
