About
Space Tug is the maneuverable third stage of the Skyrora XL launch vehicle. It allows multiple payloads to be deployed into their chosen orbits from the same launch, improving mission flexibility and contributing to sustainability by reducing the number of rocket launches required. The stage uses a pressure-fed propellant feed system burning HTP (high test peroxide) and kerosene propellants, with a main engine producing 3.5 kN of thrust in vacuum at a specific impulse of 305 s. It measures 2 m in length and 1.9 m in diameter, with a dry mass of 530 kg and a loading (propellant) mass of 590 kg.
