P125-R2

The P125-R2 (Project 125 Rocket 2) is the first orbital launch vehicle developed by the Commercial Launch Alliance and the second rocket developed for Project 125. It is the Alliance's first orbital rocket. The P125-R2 uses a LS125-1 and the proven US062-1 used in the P125-R1. It is the first rocket that features a 1.25m wide stage, which will be later reused in the P125-R3 orbital launcher. The P125-R2's main goal is to launch the first satellite into space as fast as possible. The rocket's payload remains attached to the US062-1 after the orbital insertion in order to maximize the launcher's payload capacity. The P125-R2 can carry a payload of up to 125kg. The rocket will not launch commercial payloads, as it is only used as a placeholder before first launches of the P125-R3 which can carry payloads of more than 1000kg and is therefore more viable as a commercial launcher. All launches are performed from KSC LC-01.
