#Firefly recovery update! πͺ
We just tested a new idea for our drogue chute deployment mechanism! With help from RenΓ© FlΓ©ron and his vacuum chamber at @DTUSpace, we could test it at pressures similar to the launch scenario! π₯³ Thanks for the help!

New project alert! π’ With the goal of testing our recovery system, and serving as the first step to gain knowledge in solid rocketry: we are happy to announce our first solid rocket project, Firefly!π₯π¦β Headed to @Spaceport_Cup June 2023!πExciting times!

A couple of weeks ago we attended the #dtubluedot ceremonyπβ
By being a part of the blue dot portofolio, @dtudk has been a huge support! We are very grateful!
We loved to har about the other blue dot projects βοΈποΈοΈβ

Today we want to thank @Tuborgfondet
Without their help, our world record this past fall wouldn't have been possible π
We have been given a page on their website where we explain what we do, and how the donations has helped us. Take a look here: shorturl.at/etwU7
Have you ever wondered what its like to design a printed circuit board? Maybe you should try DanSTARs PCB workhsop?β
The workshop starts from next week on, so hurry and sign up by joining the facebook group through the link below! We cant wait to see you!

This week concluded this year's European Rocketry Challenge, and thus a lot of European rocketry team's projects - and so we had a little celebration in the honor of EuRoC and all the amazing rocket launches!πCan't wait to see you all next year! ππ₯

We are sad to inform that we will not launch Fornax this year. It has been an incredibly hard decision to make, but nonetheless the right one at this time. We will come back stronger - Fornax will someday soar through the skies as she is destined to, as #ActualRocketScienceπβ¨
A massive thank you to @DTUSkylab, @DTUtweet and everyone working there for providing an amazing workspace for us to #design and #build our #record-breaking #bi-liquid #rocket! Let's keep it up! πͺπΌ

Flowtest of engine complete! πΏ
We are using the same engine design as last year, so we were quite happy to see that the flow coefficients were almost the same. Great work from @TeknologiskInst 3D printing the engine! π

The #Fornax mission patch is here!π£
As with everything we do in @DanSTAR, we've put a lot of thought into this design; from its color palette to the smallest of strokes, each representing our goals π

With EuRoC just around the corner we know that the excitement levels are through the roof! π So, to push the excitement levels even further, we present to you our EuRoC presentation video for #Fornax π£π΅πΉ

Being a partner in @Teknologipagtenβs network is simply amazing. Teknologipagten has since 2018 provided an ever increasing #forum and hub for #organisations, such as ourselves, to help boost the awareness and interest of #STEM focused #education and #skills π

In rocketry, what goes up must come down GENTLY.
So yesterday we had the pleasure of giving @DanSTAR_dtu a course in parachute packing prior to their recovery system test campaign.
Their team is busy finishing the bi-liquid Fornax rocket for the European Rocketry Challenge.π
We have #liftoff π (on testing season, at least)!
We started with our #telemetry system and went straight for the kill, #testing it over a distance of 4km.
There are still improvements to be made, but this brings us one step closer to taking #Fornax from our garage to the skies!
β
Fluid system complete! The fluid system is technically just a bunch of pipes, tube connectors and similar β but boyyy does it look like #ActualRocketScience when assembled! π€© β
Next up: cable harness and then a whole bunch of testing!
