It can take payloads directly from lower LEO to GEO in less than 24 hours using existing medium-lift launch vehicles. The kick stage uses cryogenic propellants and aims to significantly reduce the cost of accessing higher-energy orbits. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
