Current rockets are using polluting, explosive, corrosive, toxic, carcinogenic propellants. At launch, a rocket releases polluting chemicals into the atmosphere as much as 1 million cars running simul

taneously.
ARCA created an electric, water based rocket that works as first stage, or booster for launch vehicles, allowing the reduction of polluting propellant with around 25%, or boost the payload capability with around 30% pollution free. But LAS isn't only clean, it is unprecedentedly safe and cost effective.
Like early electric cars, an electric rocket is not as efficient as one using polluting fuels. But it’s ideal as launch booster or first stage. ARCA named it Launch Assist System (LAS).
