History

Insight Aerospace started as a fictional space agency with the Spaceflight Simulator discord server, called Apollo Space in late 2019. It would go on to create the rockets Griffin Heavy, Griffin Super Heavy, and the Orbital Transport System. Then, around October 2020, Insight Aerospace was born within the Simplerockets 2 community. The very first rocket they made was Zeta V, meant to be reusable in early development, but was later ditched due to fuel efficiency problems. In December of 2020, the Beta Series was announced. These were meant for interplanetary travel and mass satellite missions, for example comsats. Beta III was released around December 18. Earlier, a secret rocket named Zeta 3 was in development, and later a sneak peek was revealed. Then the Zeta 3 project was ditched in favor for the Insight Reuse Prototype, later to to be known as Delta 7. In January of 2021, the company announced that they are looking for providers for communication satellites, to build a constellation of satellites for later Mars missions, similar to Starlink.
