Pallas-1

Overview

Two-stage, partially reusable kerosene-liquid oxygen medium-lift rocket — Galactic Energy's Falcon 9-class vehicle with a vertically landing first stage powered by seven CQ-50 engines.

Completed a successful seven-engine first-stage static fire in November 2025, finishing its major ground tests. By late May 2026 the ~42 m vehicle stood vertical on Galactic Energy's newly completed dedicated pad at Jiuquan ahead of an imminent maiden flight; landing legs and grid fins are fitted but no recovery is expected on the debut, with a launch-and-recovery test to follow in 2026.
