In thrust we trust
Last week team HELVETIA/ASTREA launched it’s rocket at the Spaceport America Cup 2022 in New Mexico. It got to an altitude fg 10’300 meters (33’800 feet) Congratulation and thanks that I can be part of that journey!
The rocket is screaming (due to combustion instabilities… we knew about that. But hey, it survived!).
This reminds to the Tie Fighter from the Start Wars movies 😁
Look what Team DAEDALUS achieved! Their hybrid rocket motor, based on Nitrous Oxide/Paraffin, is now a flight worthy marvel of engineering. It will be flown this summer as a part of the PICCARD rocket. I am (again) proud to be part of that story. See also the other related posts
The ARIS IRIDE team finished it’s test campaign with a great success. Watch the amazing video they created! I am proud to be part of that story. Together with the predecessor team RHEA they finished the construction of the test infrastructure, they also designed, build and tested a 5 kN rocket hybrid engine. The new team DAEDALUS will now design flight worthy hardware for ARIS’ PICCARD rocket aimed for the Spaceport America Cup 2021.
Great work of the ARIS team! Congratulation! I am proud to be part of that journey! 🚀🚀 (Embedded via LinkedIN, original link)
RHEA, lays the foundation for future hybrid rocket engine developments at ARIS. The built test infrastructure is expandable to thrusts up to 20 kN. RHEA’s first-generation engine focuses on high safety factors and a high degree of modularity to test a variety of different key parameters. A perfect baseline to scale up the engine and make it flight-ready in the future. RHEA’s successor IRIDE is currently under development and will deliver 5kN of thrust.
