WE INNOVATE. WE MOVE FAST. WE DELIVER.
Pioneering solid rocket propulsion at scale.
Our mission is to reimagine how rockets are designed, developed and manufactured at scale for the greater benefit of democracy.
OUR MISSION
-
We provide a suite of signature propellant formulas, each designed to deliver specific performance characteristics, ranging from long-duration burns to high total thrust and peak thrust.

CAPABILITIES
-
At Black Sky, the customisation and scaled manufacturing of ammonium perchlorate solid rocket propellants and motors are at the heart of our core capabilities.
-
Black Sky’s flagship Wagtail™ RATO system provides adaptable solid rocket motors (SRMs) to help bring payloads to altitude. RATO is fast becoming essential in modern UAV applications allowing platforms to carry heavier payloads and reach greater ranges.

Black Sky designs, develops, tests, and manufactures launch vehicles entirely in-house. Our capabilities encompass the development of rocket motors, airframes, guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems, and advanced avionics, including our second-generation TETRA2™ and third-generation NEON3™ platforms.
In addition to custom solutions, Black Sky offers a range of off-the-shelf rockets, featuring both short and long-range platforms, as well as training rockets up to 300mm. Our integrated approach ensures precision, reliability, and innovation across all our products.
-
Black Sky is an Australian producer of ammonium perchlorate, a critical component for conventional solid rocket motors used in defence and aerospace applications. Our commitment to innovation, sovereignty, and scalable production ensures a secure and reliable supply chain.
By leveraging our vertically integrated approach, Black Sky is continually scaling its production of ammonium perchlorate to support the continuous and expanded production of solid rocket motors.
