Scorpius Space Launch Company

Scorpius Space Launch Company, based in Torrance, California, has been a prominent player in the aerospace industry for over 30 years. The company focuses on the production of next-generation launch systems and spacecraft technologies. Their offerings include pressure vessels, ablative engines, composite structures, and tridyne pressurization systems. A notable innovation by Scorpius is the Pressurmaxx Type-V all-composite cryogenic tank technology, which features a linerless unibody construction made from Hexcel carbon fiber and a proprietary cryogenic high-performance resin named Sapphire 77. These composite structures are uniquely designed to function as a unified structure, integrating the propellant Type-V tank without the need for additional support elements. The Type-V propellant tanks are engineered to reduce failure modes and are suitable for both chemical and electric propulsion systems. Additionally, the company’s Tridyne High Performance Pressurization System utilizes a mixture of GH2 and GOX to enrich He, enhancing the efficiency of the pressurant gas. Scorpius Space Launch Company also offers flexible production runs and turnkey assembly solutions to meet diverse client needs.
