The 150 Km rocket project

We have the ambition to design and build a rocket that will beat the world altitude reckord for rocket amateurs, which is currently held by an American group, at 124Km. Our system will be two stage rocket, and designed to go 150+Km up. The design has changed since the mock-up on the picture was made, and more information will follow.

The project is now re-started and the rocket system is being re-designed. Not only will the system itself be re-designed but the propellant has also been re-formulated. The testing of this new propellant will start during the spring of 2009.

Project manager: Frode Stensaa
