The DCX Rocket is a major technological advance in the exploration and development of our final frontier – space. The rocket uses a single stage, liquid fuel propulsion system to take off, fly into space and land back on the Earth.

It is a 1/3 size model of the planned transport and is designed as a re-usable vehicle, like the space shuttle. . By the year 2,000 the full scale version is expected to be launched into space and return to Earth for only four million dollars. Conservatek’s role in this 18 month, 58 million dollar, high technology project is the development of a 7 story rocket assembly and maintenance facility.

The Conservatek approach of making the enclosure mobile allows the rocket to remain stationery, avoiding time and cost associated with re-locating it to a launch site.

This practice is typically seen at Kennedy Space Center in Titusville, FL and saves both time and money. Conservatek’s rocket enclosure is an Omni*Hub system with membrane cladding, a 7 story doorway, retractable platforms and a three pointed counterweighted mobile dolly system that enabled the enclosure to be pulled by tractor across the white sands of the New Mexico Desert.
