Sokolancar objective
Sokolancar Space Agency · Santa Clara, CA
Built on Earth. Bound for everything else.
We design, build and fly reusable starships, and we are charting a path to every world in the solar system.
01 · The agency
We build the ships that take us off-world.
Sokolancar started with a simple idea: space should be reached the way we reach the other side of an ocean. On a ship that comes home, refuels and flies again. Every system we build in Santa Clara works toward that.
- 100%
- Reusable by design. Every stage flies again.
- 8
- Planets on our charts, plus the Moon.
- CH₄
- Methalox propellant, which can be made on Mars.
02 · The starship
SOKOL-class. Taken apart.
Scroll to open the stack. Two stages, both built to land and fly again.
- Crew deck & nosePressurised cabin with forward flaps for re-entry control.
- Heat shieldHexagonal tiles that take the heat of atmospheric entry.
- Ship propellant tanksStainless-steel tanks for liquid methane and oxygen.
- Vacuum enginesLarge-bell engines tuned for efficiency in space.
- Hot-stage ringVented interstage. The ship lights its engines before separation.
- Grid finsSteer the booster back to the pad.
- Booster tankMost of the propellant, all of the first push.
- Booster enginesThirteen engines in a centre and outer ring.
03 · Launch
T−10
Propellant load complete
Leave the cradle.
Scroll through a launch sequence: countdown, ignition, liftoff, stage separation and the ship's own engine burn.
04 · Explore
The solar system, within reach.
Choose a world, or tap one in the scene, to fly there. Scroll on when you are ready for the missions.
05 · Missions / 01
Luna Gateway
A harbour in lunar orbit.
A refuelling depot and crew station circling the Moon. Every ship that heads further out tops up here first.

05 · Missions / 02
Ares Transit
Cargo first. Then crews.
Uncrewed ships land power, habitats and a propellant plant first. Crews follow on the next transfer window and fly home on fuel made on Mars.

05 · Missions / 03
Europa Deep
Listening under the ice.
A heavy science platform to the Jupiter system, carrying probes built to study the ocean beneath Europa's frozen shell.

Mission Sokolancar · Leg 1
First stop, Saturn.
Our namesake mission. One ship, a gas giant and an ice giant. It starts with a pass through the Saturn system, past the rings and Titan, before swinging on toward Uranus.

05 · Missions / 05
Mission Sokolancar · Leg 2
Then on to Uranus.
The planet that spins on its side. The second leg carries Mission Sokolancar out to the ice giant, a world visited only once before, by a flyby in 1986.

05 · Missions / 06
Outer Reach
To the edge of the planets.
Thirty times farther from the Sun than Earth. A long-range survey of the ice giants, and our first step toward the space between the stars.
Target window2032
06 · Join the mission
The sky was never the limit.
From here every world we have ever known is a point of light. We are building the ships to visit them. Come build with us.
