The Catopolis Alpha III (CA3) was the first rocket launched by the Catopolis Aeronautics Technology Administration (CATA), one of the predecessors to the ACOA, on 1 September 2024. It was flown one day late, as construction was behind schedule.
After several failed launch attempts, the fuel was switched out, and the A3 rocket successfully launched for the first time.
The Alpha III touched down in the alfalfa fields of Meowton.
