By: Andrew C. Jarocki  
WASHINGTON ― The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is seeking ideas for payloads to use in the DARPA Launch Challenge, a competition focused on succesfully deploying assets to low-Earth orbit.
A recent request for information from the U.S. Defense Department agency solicits ideas on “potential payloads to use in conjunction†with the Launch Challenge, with a maximum allowable weight of 500 kilograms, or 1,102 pounds.
The challenge seeks to “demonstrate the ability to launch payloads to orbit on extremely short notice, with no prior knowledge of the payload, destination orbit or launch site, and do it not just once, but twice, in a matter of days,†according to the agency’s description.
