Rocket Factory Augsburg AG (RFA) is a German NewSpace start-up located in Augsburg. It was founded in 2018 with the mission to build rockets just like cars.[1][2] Its multistage rocket, RFA One, is currently under development. As of November 2023[update], it had been scheduled to launch during the summer of 2024;[3] however, an anomaly during a first stage static fire test in August 2024 resulted in destruction of the stage and the launch mount.[4][5]
