They're launching from FAR?

I've seen many more impressive projects at FAR.

Hybrid rocket DAUNTLESS, launch Q4 2023

Vaya Space already had a thread. Admittedly, it's under their old name Rocket Crafters, and probably should be updated to reflect the change (which they made almost exactly two years ago).

But I still can't get people on this forum to stop talking about the "Firefly Beta" rocket, even though it's been called MLV for over six months, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Sorry I search, and I don't found nothing...

I keep an index of the NSF threads for every rocket company I'm aware of (and I try to be aware of all non-Chinese companies which have more than just a website), so when a company changes its name, I retain its history.

It’d be awesome if you could post that in a new thread somewhere and maybe the mods could sticky it.

It seems Vaya is using HDPE as the fuel, as noted in the press release related to the above oxidizer tank:

Utilizing recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as solid fuel with various liquid oxidizers, Vaya’s propulsion technology is non-explosive and non-toxic. This has not been done before.
