MaiaSpace, a subsidiary of ArianeGroup, will launch a Maia rocket on its maiden flight. The Maia microlauncher is partially reusable and is equipped with grid fins, landing legs, three Prometheus methaLOX engines on the first stage and a vacuum-optimized Prometheus engine for its second stage. The standard two-stage configuration of the Maia vehicle will be capable of deploying 1.5 tonnes into Low Earth Orbit when the first stage is expended and 500kg when it is being recovered. With the addition of the Colibri kickstage, the vehicle’s performance will increase to 2.5 tonnes to LEO when the first stage is expended. - Moved forward from 2026. Delayed from late 2025.
