The Education rockets

Education rockets

The NEAR E1 rockets are robust and lightweight rockets made of highly durable plastic tubes. The motors are the NEAR RR600 KN/Sorbitol motors with a total impulse of 1500Ns and a burnrate of 1.6 seconds. The motor has a total of 500 grams of propellant and is capable of launching the rocket up to 1400 metres, depending on the weight.

The purpose of these rockets is educational and display purposes, and can be launched in open fields or over water. Students can build these rockets with the guidance of NEAR members and launch them as part of their education. This is perfect for schools where students can learn more about rockets in a more inspiring and real environment.

If you are interested in launches, please contact Frode Stensaa.
