DROP TEST — HARDWARE READY
DROP TEST — HARDWARE READY
The first full-scale Hyperion Orbital Factory Vehicle prototype is now hardware-ready for the upcoming stratospheric drop test.
The system will be lifted by a zero-pressure balloon to an altitude of ≈30 km, where it will autonomously detach, stabilize, and descend using onboard navigation and recovery systems.
The test validates all key mechanisms — balloon interface, stage separation, attitude control, telemetry, and recovery — proving the complete launch-to-release cycle before orbital integration.
This milestone marks the first physical step toward autonomous orbital manufacturing — a transition from render to reality.

Gravity hides perfection.
Only in silence — above the atmosphere — do materials show their true form.
ZBLAN, proteins, alloys — each atom moves freely, without distortion.
In orbit, we don’t just build; we let the universe build with us.

A zero-pressure hydrogen balloon, 135 m in diameter, ascends to the stratosphere in about 90 minutes carrying the Hyperion OFV.
The entire flight is autonomous — telemetry continuously monitors pressure, temperature, and ascent rate.

FAQ
What is Hyperion?
Hyperion is an OFV – Orbital Factory Vehicle, an orbital manufacturing platform. Unlike conventional rockets, Hyperion not only delivers payloads but also produces materials directly in orbit — such as ZBLAN optical fibers, protein crystals, and advanced alloys. After completing production, it returns safely to Earth for full reusability.
