Sparrow Design Review

DARE’s new flagship project Sparrow is in the final stages of the detailed design of its liquid-fuelled rocket engine. Right before the Christmas break, they hosted a design review for the combustion chamber, cooling and the feed subsystem. Having worked online for the last half a year, engineers of Project Sparrow presented the outcome of…

Update on the Small Rocket Project

Every year Delft Aerospace Rocket Engineering organizes the Small Rocket Project (SRP). This program is tailored around first year students, and teaches them the basics of rocketry. Within the four month multidisciplinary project, the teams go through an end-to-end design, eventually resulting in the launch of their rocket in May. All rockets carry a raw…

Rocket Recovery

Stratos IV is being designed to break records and reach space. To see how successful the mission was after its launch, the flight data needs to be saved and recovered. With this flight data, future Stratos missions can be developed to reach higher goals each time by learning from past experiences – therefore, the recovery…

Composite Manufacturing

Over the last few months the structures department of Stratos IV have been finalizing all the designs and iterations. The production has started and the first few tests of some systems have already taken place. We started 2019 with the biggest parts of the rocket, the oxidizer tanks. These aluminum carbon overwrapped tanks were first…

Multistage Rocketry

Launching in May of this year will be the DAREdevil rocket, a new project aimed at developing and flight-testing technologies for future Stratos missions. The first iteration of the rocket, developed by our team of 11 students, will test three important new technologies: rocket staging, in-flight ignition and a fairing separation of the nosecone. Amidst…

Supersonic Speed Estimation

When flying a rocket, it is very important to know the velocity of the vehicle throughout the flight phase. Unlike measuring speed on a bike or a car, a rocket moves very quickly through the atmosphere, making a proper speed estimation a challenge. Despite, our structures department managed to develop a supersonic pitot tube, which…
