Not a lot of information. Engine test video was of LOX feed Hybrid engine so something different again from RocketLab and Firefly.

I assuming fuselage and tanks will be composite given the rocket is black, this seems to be the material of choice for these small LV companies. Will be interesting to see if the big boys use it in the future.

Planning a vehicle that will deliver  <100kg to BLEO eg moon and interplanetary. There should be a market for this, especially for interplanetary smallsats and cubesats.

A new video with M-OV flight profile ( very trippy. I prefer the FAR site video above    )

Our M-OV is designed to deliver satellites up to 1100 lbs (500 kg) class to LEO (Low Earth Orbit).

Length: 14.6 m (47.9 ft)
Diameter: 1.2 m (48.0 in)
