Short-term (1–2 years)

We are developing a commercial suborbital rocket that allows micro-g experiments and space environment exposure at a fraction of orbital cost. The initial goal: a two-stage aerospace-grade rocket to 60–80 km altitude, produced with manufacturing cost under €20,000 per vehicle.

  • Fast integration & launch options (under 2 months).
  • Payload bay: 20 × 1U slots (1–2 kg) — pricing: €12,000 /1U or €16,000/2kg slot.
  • Goal: democratize access to suborbital research and commercial payloads for cheaper than Orbital Flights.

Mid — Long Term

Phase 1 — Suborbital Validation (HERMES)

Develop and launch the Hermes vehicle to 100-120km. Validate the propulsion architecture and demonstrate cost reduction for micro-g payload testing

Phase 2 — Commercial Payload Operations

Scale manufacturing to establish a bimonthly launch cadence (1 flight every 60 days). We offer dedicated flight profiles with rapid integration capabilities, serving a wide spectrum of biological, academic, and commercial hardware.

Phase 3 — High-Cadence European Launch Provider

Establish a centralized commercial and administrative hub (Monaco/Turin) to coordinate high-frequency suborbital flights, acting as the primary testing bridge for the European aerospace ecosystem.

Full Manifesto

At IMF.Rockets, we are engineering the next generation of suborbital launch vehicles. Our focus is absolute: to accelerate aerospace research, hardware validation, and scientific advancement by removing the traditional bottlenecks of space access. We believe that true progress in space exploration requires rapid iteration, uncompromising engineering, and international cooperation. By developing original, purpose-driven rockets, we aim to provide a reliable, high-cadence bridge to space, fostering an ecosystem where researchers and private enterprises can innovate without borders.

Our immediate operational focus is the HERMES program: a commercial suborbital two-stage vehicle designed to reach altitudes of 60–80km. By leveraging aggressive supply chain optimization and iterative manufacturing, we target a highly capital-efficient production cost of under €80,000 per vehicle. This architecture allows us to offer dedicated microgravity environments at a fraction of orbital costs. We provide rapid integration—going from contract to launch pad in under two months. The payload bay is configured for 20 standardized 1U slots (accommodating 1kg to 2kg payloads, priced at €12,000 and €16,000 respectively), ensuring a highly scalable commercial flight model right from our first successful test.

Looking ahead, IMF.Rockets is scaling to become a central hub for commercial aerospace collaboration. Rooted in the politically neutral and international environment of Monaco, our mid-to-long-term objective is to establish a high-cadence launch operation, targeting one dedicated flight every 60 days. We are not just building a private rocket company; we are constructing a collaborative infrastructure where academic institutions, biotech firms, and global hardware developers can assemble, test, and launch their technologies efficiently. It is a pragmatic, execution-first approach to expanding human capabilities beyond Earth.
