PADMA

Precision Advanced Deep-space Mission Architecture β€” 30-ton class reusable human-rated launcher engineered for Earth-Moon logistics and LEO infrastructure.

Mission Statement

PADMA is not just a launch vehicle β€” it’s a mission architecture built for tomorrow’s space economy. Designed to carry crew, cargo, and propellant to LEO and beyond, PADMA bridges Earth and lunar domains, enabling human expansion into deep space.

Earth–Moon Connectivity

PADMA is optimized for round-trip lunar logistics. With cryogenic insulation, structural adaptability, and in-orbit propellant transfer capability, it is a cornerstone for supporting Moon bases β€” whether for cargo drop-offs, resupply, or eventual human return legs.

Orbital Infrastructure Contribution

Unlike traditional stages discarded after use, PADMA’s second stage can become a structural module for orbital stations. This eliminates waste, supports space tourism and habitation, and actively reduces debris β€” transforming every mission into lasting infrastructure.

Applications

Development Milestones

  1. Q1: Orbital tank pressurization and propellant boiloff trials
  2. Q2: Full stage repurpose test in microgravity
  3. Q3: Earth-Moon demo with partial refuel
