Nanosat Launch Vehicle. Illustration of a small two-stage rocket called a Nanosat Launch Vehicle (NLV). This rocket is around 9 metres in height. The fuels used are liquid oxygen (LOX) and Refined Petroleum 1 (RP-1),a type of kerosene. These rockets,often launched from mid-air,are used to deliver miniaturised satellites into Earth orbit. These satellites can range in size from the microscopic scale to the nanoscale and even smaller. Such satellites usually operate as a connected network or swarm | |
