Formerly known as ZK 1A, the rocket model has a length of 30 meters, diameter of 2.65 meters, and a liftoff weight of 135 metric tons. It is capable of deploying satellites with a combined weight of 1.5 tons to a typical sun-synchronous orbit about 500 kilometers above Earth.

CAS Space has begun developing a new rocket, Kinetica 2, and plans to conduct its maiden flight in 2025.
