CDS Constelación II Reusable Heavy-Lift Launch Vehicle
The Constelación II is a partially reusable super heavy-lift launch vehicle designed and manufactured by CDS, Coron Electro, Arcolectro, and several other Corindi companies. It is derived from the Constelación vehicle and consists of a strengthened Constelación first stage as a central core with two additional first stages as strap-on boosters. The CDS conducted the maiden launch of the Constelación II on April 8, 2018. The Constelación II was designed to carry humans into space beyond low Earth orbit, especially to the Moon, Mars, and potentially to asteroids for mining.
