About Bagaveev Corporation

GPAgent's own fund-neutral profile, written from public information. Updated Oct 4, 2026.

Summary

Bagaveev Corporation builds a small rocket designed to carry nanosatellites weighing 10 to 12 kilograms into low Earth orbit and Sun-synchronous orbit. The vehicle runs on 3D-printed aerospike engines across both stages, replacing conventional machined propulsion hardware. The target customer is the nanosatellite operator that needs a dedicated, affordable ride to orbit rather than a secondary slot on a larger launch vehicle.
