描述

The Pegasus is an air-launched rocket developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation (now part of Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems). Capable of carrying small payloads of up to 443 kilograms (977 lb) into low Earth orbit, the vehicle consists of three solid propellant stages and an optional monopropellant fourth stage. Pegasus is released from its carrier aircraft at approximately 40,000 ft (12,000 m), and its first stage has a wing and a tail to provide lift and attitude control while in the atmosphere. The HAPS variant adds a Hydrazine Auxiliary Propulsion System maneuvering stage.

飞马座（Pegasus）是由轨道科学公司（现为诺斯罗普·格鲁曼创新系统的一部分）研制的一款空射火箭。它能将最多 443 公斤（977 磅）的小型载荷送入近地轨道，由三级固体推进剂级和一个可选的单组元推进剂第四级组成。飞马座在约 40000 英尺（12000 米）高度从其载机释放，其第一级带有机翼和尾翼，可在大气中提供升力与姿态控制。 HAPS 变体增加了一个肼辅助推进系统（HAPS）机动级。
