The mission is not over
until it comes home.
Getting to orbit is one part of the story. Bringing its value back is the other. Thor is Astreia’s reentry vehicle, developed to carry payloads from space to Earth.
Alongside Tessera, it connects orbital research and manufacturing with a return journey planned around the payload.
Through the atmosphere.
Thor’s role is the passage from orbital operations into atmospheric flight.
Back within reach.
Recovery connects the returning payload with the next stage of its work on Earth.
The payload comes first
