Company

Radian is linked with Holder Aerospace, another Renton-based engineering company^[3] headed by former astronaut Livingston Holder and aerospace executive Curtis Gifford.^[4]

Design

Radian is developing their rocket engine in Renton and at a testing facility near Bremerton, Washington.^[5] The delta-winged plane will be launched from a rocket-powered sled. Once on orbit, the vehicle can deliver payloads or crew to low earth orbit. Radian One is expected to land on any 10,000 ft (3,000 m) runway and fly again in 48 hours.^[6]
