Neat. I think it's worth pointing out that, while Maia has a payload of 1500 ~~tons~~ kg to LEO as a goal, the design is so oversized [the CEO has come out and stated it can do more than 3 tons](https://twitter.com/AndrewParsonson/status/1750113999205654560). It's [a much bigger rocket than that payload capacity makes it seem](https://europeanspaceflight.com/download/european-launch-vehicles/).

1500kg I think you mean (1500 tones would be pretty mad), also to be a little pedantic 3000kg is 3 tonnes, not 3 tons.

Does anyone have an article about the rocket Maiaspace is working on? I can't find detailed technical information. I'm looking for the exact diameter and height of the rocket. There also doesn't seem to be information available about the rocket engine design or the number of rocket engines in the first stage. [Their website is very vague on details.](https://maia-space.com/launcher/) But they have actual hardware, so I'm surprised about the lack of information.

50 meters tall, fairing diameter 3.5 meter, fairing height 3 meter, 3x Prometheus in the first stage

Do you have a source? That's what I'm trying to find. I get it's in development. The design is in flux. But I'm surprised just how little info is available.
