- What Is RS1? ABL’s RS1 is a ground-launched small-lift rocket consisting of two stages. When fully integrated, RS1 has a length of about 26.8 m (88 ft) and a diameter of 1.8 m (6 ft). The rocket’s design is deliberately simple, which allows the company to rapidly produce reliable, low-cost, and simple in operation launch vehicles.
