Theory is great and very necessary, but space can not be reached unless we can translate ideas from the drawing board to the physical. We are building the hardware to make the dream of space flight a reality for all. This is a non-profit suborbital space endeavor lead by Sebastian Borg, Henrik Ågren based. Entirely on sponsors and vol.

They last two months that have passed we have been very busy. To keep our timetable we are divided into three different groups. Whose main objective is to develop the control, communication and guidance systems for both the rocket and test pad. Their work is to designing and build the steel structure that will hold the engine securely on the ground during a live test. Propulsion and launch vehicle group.

Some equipment needs to be put in the air in real circumstances to be properly tested and give the realistic data we need. For those trial runs we wanted a affordable and easy to put together system. For this we went back to square one where it all started. Therefore we are now currently building on a 14-foot rocket which consists mostly of fiberglass and aluminum. The purpose with this simple hybrid rocket is only to test different types of electronic devices during high accelration and altitude.

We will test our 250 lbf Ethanol-lox engine Feb 11th. Regenerative cooled Lox-Ethanol rocket engine. KNO3 solid based rocket booster. The engine contains 11 kg of fuel. Regenerative cooled Lox-Ethanol rocket engine. BACK TO GALLERY FRONT PAGE.
