Mission Phoenix 1

Mission Phoenix is the first fully reusable prototype rocket developed by Anka Space.

Goal

Demonstrate vertical takeoff, controlled hover, and precision landing using a LOX-based propulsion system.

Objective

100m altitude flight with full landing recovery.

Purpose

Validate the propulsion system, avionics, and reusability for future larger-scale vehicles.

Technical Overview

Rocket Height: ~4.5 meters
Diameter: ~0.6 meters
Propulsion: LOX based pressure-fed engine

Flight Profile

→ Vertical Takeoff — Engine ignites, vehicle ascends.
→ Controlled Hover (~5s) — Stabilization using thrust vector control (TVC).
→ Precision Landing — Slow descent, touchdown with landing legs.

Harvard Advantage

Harvard i-lab Building

LEVERAGING HARVARD'S REEF MAKERSPACE AND
SEAS FABRICATION LAB TURNS A TYPICAL HARDWARE
STARTUP BURDEN INTO OUR COMPETITIVE EDGE.

Because machine time and raw stock are free for Harvard students, we save ≈ $115k on Year‑1 prototype parts and cut weeks of vendor lead time from weeks to hours—giving us 10× more design cycles. That capital efficiency lets every dollar of investment reach further—funding more testing, not invoices.

Rapid in‑house iteration also shortens our path to key milestones, keeping Anka Space ahead of larger, slower‑moving rivals. 24/7 swipe access as a Harvard graduate student lets the team prototype on nights/weekends.

Harvard also supplies office space, legal counsel, and fundraising coaching at no cost, stretching every investor dollar.

What We Do Decoration

What We Do

Anka Space is pioneering the future of reusable rocket technology. Our goal is to build sustainable, cost-effective launch systems that enable research institutions, commercial companies, and governments to access space more easily.
