The VLM-1 is a vehicle for launching small satellites and its development is oriented toward low development and production costs.
The VLM-1 is a development project for a vehicle designed to launch microsatellites into low equatorial orbits (LEO) or reentry orbits, with three stages. The three propulsive systems of the VLM-1 are solid propellant, with the first two stages equipped with the S50 propulsor, with 12 tons of propellant each, and an orbiting stage equipped with the S44 propulsor, with approximately 800 kg of propellant.
Aeronautical engines are strategic elements for the national aerospace industry, ensuring independence and strengthening the Defense Industrial Base.
In Brazil, the production and development of these engines are strategic priorities, requiring high technology to ensure performance, safety, and efficiency. The country has advanced in design, manufacturing, testing, and maintenance capabilities, with emphasis on the TR5000 engine, developed by IAE in partnership with Aero Concepts (EED), consolidating Brazil as a relevant player in the global aviation market.
As a prime contractor, ALADA integrates partner companies in all phases of the project, from conception to commercialization.
ALADA will manage aircraft projects through a structured process architecture, covering everything from initial demand analysis to results evaluation. As a prime contractor, the company will coordinate a complete cycle that includes requirements verification, feasibility analysis, negotiation with partners, contract formalization, and rigorous management of all implementation phases. This process will ensure the delivery of aircraft that meet technical and market specifications.
