Aurora is our latest launch vehicle. Measuring 2.7 meters in length, it is the largest rocket our team has developed to date. Powered by a COTS solid rocket motor, Aurora is designed to reach an altitude of 3 km.
Our launch vehicle, "Ratatoskr", was designed to reach speeds of up to Mach 1.7. The mission objective was to deploy a specially developed payload at an altitude of approximately 9 km.
As the successor to Athmo 1, Athmo 2 marked our first attempt at developing an autonomous flying system. Using two rotors positioned 90 degrees apart, we were able to control the pitch, yaw, and roll axes to ensure stable flight. After several test flights, the project was further refined and can now also be controlled via remote.
Our first flight vehicle, named Athmo 1, was developed during our third semester and served as a platform to gain initial experience in rocket construction. After numerous successful flights, Athmo 1 remains operational and continues to support us in testing onboard computers as well as conducting various experiments.
