More Payload share

Today

The current aerospace trend is driven by new providers and new launch sites. New providers for obital launches are e.g. Isar Aerospace, HyImpulse, Rocket Factory Augsburg. Plans for launch sites exist for Rostock-Laage, the German Offshore Spaceport Alliance or GOSA and e.g. Shetland / Sutherland in Great Britain. Also, applications through “NewSpace” are increasingly becoming economically critical, such as the increase in data volume via satellite communications.

However, there are high costs associated with putting payloads into orbit. Currently, satellites are being downsized at an increasing rate to access new markets. This is because the amount of payload that can be put into orbit is technically limited. Up to now, only about 1-4% of the total launch mass of chemical rockets can be launched into orbit. Predominantly an oxidizer must be carried (e.g. liquid oxygen). The mass of the oxidizer can be up to about 75% of the total launch mass of the rocket. Approximately 15% of the total launch mass is accounted for by the other propellant, such as hydrogen. Thus, a rocket sometimes consists of more than 90% propellants.

In fact, significant lossy energy conversions occur during combustions in engines. Significant reductions in these losses are expected to increase efficiency. National and international patents have been filed as part of the load project. Development has begun.

The goal of Payloadproject.com is to increase aerospace payload capacity. The name payloadproject is derived from an intended shift from a non-usable load portion (“dead load”) to a payload portion – hence simplifying for payload project. However, since e.g. with the Starship already planned total take-off masses of approx. 5,000 t are reached, this designation is to be understood also for the limitation of the total take-off mass.

Partners and investors are being sought for further research and development.
