Belka

Pressure-fed engines for Heretic. A 250 kN booster cluster and two upper-stage variants.

The cluster uses a simple, robust feed architecture while supporting long burn durations and deep throttling capability. It is a foundational step toward larger launch and transfer vehicles.

Booster cluster hardware is being produced directly, through welding and additive manufacturing.
