Northrop Grumman OmegA

[MartG]

Northrop-Grumman have announced the name of their new launcher - OmegA

It is one of three systems which were recently announced to have received a USAF contract for launch vehicles. It consists of two solid stages ( with optional solid boosters ) and a cryogenic 3rd stage similar in concept to the SLS's ICPS stage



No attempt has been made to include recovery of any part of the booster, which many are viewing as a backward step.
