User:Infinity Space Exploration

Infinity Space Exploration Corp. (doing business as ISX or Infinity) is an Simplerockets 2 fictional company, 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 with the goal of reducing space transportation costs to enable ragularly 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 satellite 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 cost threatens the Solar system and all life on Earth, he doesn't impressed by the main story of the movie but the ragularly rocket launch sending human to space. Danish designs his first rocket called Eagle 12, a 80 meters 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 in a rocket related game.

In early 2019, Danish started to look for staff for his new 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 in East Coast, Droo. Early Infinity employees such as CaptinD2 (CTO), Azozy (Chief Engineer) and AstroDuck (Software Engineer) came from neighboring 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 access to space, ultimately by a factor of ten.

Launch Vehicles
Infinity has developed one launch vehicles so far. The small-lift Eagle was the first launch vehicle developed and still used till this day. The medium-lift Eagle Series 4 and 5 and the heavy-lift Eagle Heavy are both in development. The Eagle Series 1, 2 aand 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 biggets 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 are certified to conduct launches for the National Security Space Launch (NSSL). As of 21 April 2022, the Eagle have 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 uses liquid oxygen (LOX) and Mathane propellants in a staged combustion cycle. Hawk was first used to power the 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 oxidizer. Whitney thrusters generate 800 N (180 lbf) of thrust, and they are used on 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.
