The Middle East & Africa map represents our target market, highlighting our focus on advancing space exploration in the region. The three stars stand for the years 2023, 2024, and 2025, marking the dedicated efforts we have invested in developing this vehicle. The Horus-4 rocket, depicted in its landing phase, reflects our commitment to reusability and cost efficiency. Finally, the mission name “Unity-1” signifies the collaboration and shared resources that drive our mission to launch the Middle East into space and reach new heights
Symbolism & Design
The choice of the name ” HORUS ” pays homage to the ancient Egyptian god of the sun and sky, symbolizing our aspirations to reach new heights. The numeral “4” denotes the rocket’s configuration with three solid motors for launch and one for landing. From initial concept sketches using OpenRocket software to a fully realized prototype, Horus 4 is a testament to our team’s innovation and dedication
