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
ETH Focus project IRIDE ends with a great success. VIDEO!
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.
IGNITION @ ARIS
Great work of the ARIS team! Congratulation! I am proud to be part of that journey! 🚀🚀 (Embedded via LinkedIN, original link)
First firing of ARIS’ RHEA engine
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.
