Despite the loss of the Antelope 'Beta'. Another test is in place to test a certain structure which will be prominent in the future Antelope flight programs. Namely, a restructured and cheaper fuel tank was decided to instead be used to replace the originally clustered and error-prone Antelope 'Beta' Fuel system.
To be launched upon the ORchid SiV - namely the ORchid Suborbital Insertion Vehicle - are the external re-usable fueltanks which are expected to be attached to the chassis of the future Antelope Ceti | in construction |. In this test flight, we will be testing the capabilities of re-entry and recoverability of the Antelope Ceti fueltanks.
The ORchid SiV is a solid propellant rocket specifically designed for suborbital testing and flights. the ORchid program is a LEO to Suborbital space program running in parallel with the Antelope space program via the union
