Prometheus Bay

Where Ocean Meets Orbit

Prometheus Bay is ABS’s groundbreaking ocean-based platform engineered to support vertical rocket launches and landings for Mars-bound missions. By merging maritime engineering with aerospace ambition, this mobile launch site enables unprecedented flexibility—positioning itself in optimal locations across international waters to reduce fuel consumption and maximize orbital efficiency.

Built to withstand the extreme forces of launch and re-entry, Prometheus Bay features advanced stabilization systems, thermal shielding, and autonomous recovery capabilities. Its modular design supports a range of rocket classes, making it a versatile solution for both commercial and exploratory missions. The platform also minimizes environmental impact by eliminating the need for land-based infrastructure.

Named after the mythic figure who brought fire to humanity, Prometheus Bay symbolizes a new era of innovation at sea. It represents ABS’s commitment to pioneering technologies that expand the boundaries of possibility—connecting Earth’s oceans to the stars above.

Prometheus Bay is ABS’s visionary response to the rapidly evolving demands of space exploration and launch logistics. As the world’s first ocean-based platform engineered specifically for vertical rocket launches and landings, it represents a bold reimagining of what maritime infrastructure can achieve. By merging ABS’s legacy of trusted marine engineering with the ambitions of interplanetary travel, Prometheus Bay redefines the boundaries of both industries.

Unlike traditional land-based launch sites, Prometheus Bay offers unmatched mobility and adaptability. Its ability to operate in international waters allows mission planners to position the platform in optimal geographic locations—enhancing launch efficiency, reducing fuel requirements, and avoiding congested or environmentally sensitive coastal zones. This flexibility makes it an ideal solution for Mars-bound missions, orbital deployments, and future deep space logistics.

More than a platform, Prometheus Bay is a symbol of the next era in exploration—where oceans become launchpads, and the horizon is no longer the limit. It embodies ABS’s commitment to pioneering technologies that connect Earth’s maritime heritage with humanity’s celestial future.

At the core of Prometheus Bay is a suite of advanced technologies engineered for extreme conditions. The platform features dynamic positioning systems for precise stability, heat-resistant launch decks, and autonomous recovery tools. Its modular infrastructure supports a variety of rocket classes, making it adaptable to both commercial and exploratory missions.

Prometheus Bay minimizes environmental disruption by eliminating the need for land-based launch facilities. Its ability to operate in international waters reduces geographic constraints and optimizes launch trajectories, lowering fuel consumption. This approach supports global sustainability goals while expanding access to space.

ABS is collaborating with leading aerospace firms, shipbuilders, and regulatory bodies to bring Prometheus Bay from concept to reality. Through simulation, prototyping, and rigorous testing, the platform is advancing toward operational readiness. These partnerships ensure that Prometheus Bay meets the highest standards of safety, performance, and innovation.

The Future at a Glance

Prometheus Bay is the result of advanced naval architecture fused with aerospace-grade resilience. Every element—from its reinforced launch deck to its vibration-dampening hull—has been engineered to endure the intense forces of rocket propulsion and recovery. The platform’s scalable design allows for future upgrades as launch technologies evolve, ensuring long-term adaptability and performance.

Safety is foundational to Prometheus Bay’s mission. ABS has applied its rigorous classification standards to ensure the platform meets or exceeds global maritime and aerospace safety regulations. From structural integrity to onboard emergency systems, every component is designed with redundancy, resilience, and crew safety in mind.

Prometheus Bay is just the beginning. As space exploration accelerates, ABS envisions a global network of sea-based launch platforms supporting orbital infrastructure, lunar missions, and deep space logistics. This initiative positions ABS at the forefront of a new era—where oceans become gateways to the stars.

Launching the Future from the Sea

A rocket launch is a symphony of precision, power, and engineering mastery. As engines ignite, thousands of tons of thrust propel the vehicle skyward, overcoming Earth’s gravity in a matter of seconds. From the deck of Prometheus Bay, this moment is even more extraordinary—taking place on a stabilized ocean platform designed to absorb the immense forces of liftoff. The roar of the engines, the plume of exhaust, and the rising silhouette of the rocket mark the beginning of a journey that stretches from sea to space, and ultimately, toward Mars.
