Infinity Space Exploration Corp. (doing business as ISX or Infinity) is a Simplerockets 2 fictional company, a Northern Droo aerospace manufacturer, a provider of space transportation services, and a communications corporation headquartered in Carson, Droo. Infinity was founded in 2019 by Mohammad Danish to reduce space transportation costs to enable regularly the colonization around the universe. Infinity manufactures the Eagle and Eagle Heavy launch vehicles, several rocket engines, Cargo Aurora, crew spacecraft, Proxima communications satellites and a space station provider.

Infinity is developing a satellite internet constellation named Proxima to provide commercial internet service. Early March 2022, the Proxima constellation became the first satellite constellation ever launched, and as of April 2022, it comprises over 2 small satellites in orbit. The company is also developing Mighty's, a privately funded, fully reusable, super heavy-lift launch system for interplanetary and orbital spaceflight. Mighty's is intended to become Infinity's primary orbital vehicle once operational, supplanting the existing Eagle, Eagle Heavy, and Aurora fleet. Mighty's will have the highest payload capacity of any orbital rocket ever built on its debut, scheduled for early 2023.

History
In 2018, Mohammad Danish conceptualized Ad Astra, a film about an astronaut who ventures into space in search of his lost father, whose obsession to find intelligent alien life at all costs threatens the Solar system and all life on Earth, he doesn't impress by the main story of the movie but the regular rocket launch sending a human to space. Danish designed his first rocket called Eagle 12, an 80-meter tall rocket and build them in Spaceflight Simulator. In the middle of the drawing, Danish realized that he could start a fictional company to build the affordable rockets he needed instead of in a rocket related game.

In early 2019, Danish started to look for staff for his new Simplerockets 2 fictional space company, soon to be named ISX. Danish approached rocket engineer CaptinD2 (later Infinity's CTO of propulsion) and invited him to become his business partner. CaptinD2 agreed to work for Danish, and thus Infinity was born. Infinity was first headquartered in a warehouse on East Coast, Droo. Early Infinity employees such as CaptinD2 (CTO), Azozy (Chief Engineer) and AstroDuck (Software Engineer) came from neighbouring Discord servers. Danish personally interviewed and approved all of Infinity's early employees. Danish has stated that one of his goals with Infinity is to decrease the cost and improve the reliability of the access to space, ultimately by a factor of ten.

Launch Vehicles
Infinity has developed one launch vehicle so far. The small-lift Eagle was the first launch vehicle developed and is still used to this date. The medium-lift Eagle Series 4 and 5 and the heavy-lift Eagle Heavy are both in development. The Eagle Series 1, 2 and 3 was a small rocket capable of placing several thousand kilograms into low Droo orbit. It launched fourteen times between 2020 and 2022, of which twelve were successful. The Eagle Series 3 was the biggest small lift launcher to reach orbit.

Eagle Series 5 is a medium-lift launch vehicle capable of delivering up to 38,000 kilograms (85,539 lb) to orbit, competing with Delta IV, Atlas V, Falcon 9 rockets, as well as other launch providers around the world. It has twelve Hawk engines in its first stage. The Eagle Series 1 rocket successfully reached orbit on its third attempt on 6 June 2020. Its second flight, Horizon - 1 mission, launched on 22 August 2020 and launched the first commercial mission to reach orbit. The vehicle was upgraded to Eagle Series 2 in January 2020, Eagle Series 3 in May 2020, Eagle Series 4 in May 2021, and finally to Eagle Series 5 in 2022. The first stage of Eagle Series 3, 4 and 5 is designed to retropropulsively land, be recovered, and reflown.

The Eagle is certified to conduct launches for the National Security Space Launch (NSSL). As of 21 April 2022, the Eagle has been launched 14 times, resulting in 12 full mission successes, one partial success, and one in-flight failure.

Rocket engines
Since the founding of Infinity in 2019, the company has developed several rocket engines – Hawk and Rudolph for use in launch vehicles, Whitney for the reaction control system of the Aurora Cargo series of spacecraft, and SuperWhitney for abort capability in Aurora Capsule.

Hawk is a family of rocket engines that use liquid oxygen (LOX) and Methane propellants in a staged combustion cycle. Hawk was first used to power both stages of the Eagle and Eagle Heavy vehicles.

Whitney and SuperWhitney are hypergolic liquid-propellant rocket engines that utilize monomethyl hydrazine fuel and nitrogen tetroxide oxidizers. Whitney thrusters generate 800 N (180 lbf) of thrust, and they are used in the reaction control system of the Aurora Cargo and Aurora Series 2 spacecraft. SuperWhitney is more powerful, with 100 kN (22,000 lbf) of thrust. Eight SuperWhitney engines provide launch escape capability for crewed Aurora Series 2 spacecraft during an abort scenario.

Rudolph is a new family of liquid oxygen and liquid methane-fueled full-flow staged combustion cycle engines to power the first and second stages of the in-development Mighty's launch system. Development versions were test-fired in late 2021.

(Hawk V3, Rudolph, Whitney and SuperWhitney is an underdevelopment engine meanwhile Eagle S5, Aurora Capsule and The Mighty's is an underdevelopment launch vehicles)

Space Station
In February 2022, Infinity is planning to create a space station that will be named Origin Space Station. According to the latest paper that was sent to the iSpace messaging manager, we know that ISX wants a joint venture to attach both Origin Space Station and Gamma Space Station as a collaborative project for the Droo programme. Infinity plans to build an entire segment consisting of twelve modules, including a node module, an orbital research and manufacturing facility, a crew habitat, a telescope observation, a activity area, and a "large-windowed Earth observatory". The Infinity segment is expected to greatly increase the capabilities and value of the drood exploration, allowing for larger crews and private spaceflight by other organisations.

Test Sites and Factory
In Twitter and Simplerockets 2 forum, Infinity has clarified that they gonna starting to develop several things including their rockets and upcoming production sites. First of all, the Eastern Test site will be the newest Infinity test site that will be placed on the Eastern side of the Droo continent, it will be 25km away from the upcoming Eagle Series 5 and The Mighty's launch site, 100x bigger than the current test site and it will be the biggest rocket development and testing covering 1.77km2 with vertical and horizontal engine test stand, a tripod, a first stage test stand and more on Droo.

Secondly, Infinity is intended to build and expand several factories including the expansion of the Carson Factory and Cyberjaya Factory into a Gigafactory, build the Northern Spaceport Factory and Eastern Spaceport Factory that will house several machines to build a machine.

Spaceport
Infinity has planned to build the Northern Spaceport on the Northern side of the Droo continent, this spaceport will house 2 launchpads for Eagle S5 and might be upgraded to handle the Mighty's launches, they also might plan to upgrade the Eastern Spaceport to handle Eagle S5 launches with 2 launch pads. This will make Eagle launch pads will be in a total of 4 launch pads capable to deliver 4 launches each month.

Space Vehicle
Infinity has announced a lot of time of their upcoming launchers and the most recent time is Epsilon. We don't know if the development of this rocket has begun or not but we know that they have to change the rocket name to Mighty Epsilon. Aurora Capsule, we know they upgraded the Eagle design because they wanted to launch their first-ever space station and launch their first-ever crew rotational mission. We don't know much about Aurora but we know we have seen some leaks about Aurora Capsule coming to reality.
