to launch small satellites for the us government and is a member of the minotaur family of rockets produced by orbital sciences corporation now northrop grumman 2 vehicle edit minotaur i rockets consist of the m55a1 first stage and sr19 second stage of a decommissioned minuteman missile 1 the orion 50xl and orion 38 from the pegasus rocket are used as third and fourth stages a haps hydrazine auxiliary propulsion system upper stage can also be flown if greater precision is needed or the rocket needs to be able to maneuver to deploy multiple payloads 3 it can place up to 580 kilograms 1 280 lb of payload into a 185 kilometer 115 mi low earth orbit at 28 5 degrees of inclination 1 the minotaur i is 69 feet tall and 5 feet wide 4 initially minotaur i launches are conducted from space
