bluShift Aerospace: First dedicated rocket launch service for the booming nanosatellite industry | Wefunder

With the industry expected to grow to over $69B in just the next 10 years, the demand for delivery has never been greater

Our custom tailored approach will allow our customers to put satellites in orbit with weeks notice, rather than years! If that's not enough, our strategic locations give us advantages that no other launch service can provide

We are not only the most desirable service, but we're also the most earth friendly. As more and more launches are required to build this new Space Economy, it's important to consider the environmental implications. bluShift's proprietary fuel source is eco-friendly, and we're the only company making protecting our planet a priority

We’re on a mission to create an earth-friendly aerospace industry – with an Uber-like Space Launch Service that carries small payloads for paying customers

We've been blown away by the support from the larger public community for bluShift and our green approach to space flight, our focus on providing dedicated 'uber-like' launch service to small satellite

In that same spirit, we've decided to skip traditional funding methods, and open it up to the community that has expressed so much support for us! We want to allow a wider audience a chance to get in on the ground floor of company where the limit is literally beyond the sky

Perhaps you are someone who loves space flight, and wants a small piece of a great company, or you are a strategic investor and appreciate the potential financial returns. Either way, we hope this is an opportunity that appeals to you!

Our rocket fuel is less expensive than traditional rocket fuel per kilogram, completely non-toxic and can be sourced from farms across the world. bluShift is the first commercial rocket company in the world to develop a space launch service using an Earth-responsible, cost competitive, near carbon-neutral, bio-derived fuel

bluShift will provide a more sustainable, economical and accessible space launch solution

We believe bluShift's sub-orbital and then orbital launch services will be the first to provide a cost effective 'Uber to Space' to carry just a handful of small payloads in an industry where there are only Freight Trains (e.g. SpaceX and ULA) or Large Buses (e.g. Rocket Lab, Astra and Virgin, Blue Origin)

Our target customers, who are currently waiting 2-3 year in queue for launch will pay up to 25% more to speed their time to launch

bluShift's 2-phased launch service, suborbital followed by the addition of orbital, will speed accessing significant sales revenues to within 12-18 months from now while putting us on a trajectory for positive cash flow by 4 years from now as we scale up our team, rocket manufacturing and launch services off the coast of Maine. Our net margin is projected to be 50% within 7 years from now as we fully scale up

Currently they get 2-3 minutes. We'll double that to 6-8 minutes, taking payloads to 300-400km in altitude. The NASA Space Flight Opportunities program director (whose division funds much of this research) told us this would be a 'game changer' for researchers, and they'd likely pay more for it!Sub-orbital customers have told us they want more time for their science payloads to be exposed to space in zero-G

Uniquely, because we'll be launching off of the coast of Maine we can put these tiny nanosatellites into a polar orbit (this is an orbit that goes from from the South to North poles). Over 50% of the market for putting these tiny satellites into space is to place them into Polar Orbit. The only places you can do this today is from a military base in California (very expensive and problematic) and Alaska (very expensive logistically). Having launch facilities off the coast of Maine will give bluShift an incredible strategic cost advantage. By 2023 we'll be launching our first Low Earth Orbit launch service with our Red Dwarf rocket

The State of Maine is known for beautiful rugged shoreline, gorgeous forests and national parks. Now you and our customers can come to watch our launches Spring through Fall in our wonderful state. Launching small payloads to space is not just about the science our customers will be performing but about the unique experience they will have in the state whose license plates say 'Vacationland'

We are a gritty, hard working team that wants to see this small aerospace company with a new way of doing space launch take on a niche market that's not being serviced elsewhere. We want our company to stay and grow in our beautiful state of Maine, welcoming STEM and research customers from across the globe

Wefunder's Crowd Equity fundraising ensures that bluShift is funded by others who are passionate about seeing the New Space Sectors develop, who have an eye to sustainability, curiosity and understand that in the aerospace sector we are all in it for the long haul.Our Plans for with Our Launch Services Revenue Generation

Significant revenue is expected when we begin selling payload space for our full sub-orbital space launch service to commence in 2022 where the payload will be priced at a discounted rate $100k for the full 30kg for the beta flight. The 1st full commercial launch to space, expected in 2022, will be discounted to $300k for a full 30kg payload. And an additional commercial launch is possible for 2022, where if the prior flights were successful the full payload price to customers would be $600k. Suborbital with 'Starless Rogue'

upon which the full price of the 30kg payload would produce $800k-$1.5M in revenue. The launch frequency of Starless Rogue is expected to increase to 8x's per year within five years. The first customer flights funded by NASA's Flight Opportunities program is expected to commence as early as Q4 of 2023

The first beta flight of our orbital rocket, Red Dwarf, is expected to begin 2023-2024 with a heavily discounted rate for the payload customers. Less discounted rates for the full 30kg orbital payload will be charged for NASA qualifying flights expected in 2024-2025. Low Earth Orbit Cubesat Launches with 'Red Dwarf'
