Delft Aerospace Rocket Engineering
New website in progress. Check back soon!
We are one of the most advanced student rocketry teams in the world based at the Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands. Since our founding in 2001, we have accumulated over 19 years of experience in high-powered rocketry. Our goals are to provide students with unique hands-on experience and to reach space with a fully student-built rocket!
Alongside our Stratos and Aether flagship projects, we also conduct research in many multidisciplinary rocketry fields.
Quick facts about DARE
Aiming for Space
Stratos IV is a rocket entirely designed, built, and tested by students which will launch in 2020 with the goal of reaching space at the internationally recognized altitude of 100km!
LEARN MOREResearch Areas
Cryogenic liquid engines, multistage launcher designs, and advanced stabilization of rockets are only a few of our active research and development projects which focus on new technologies for the rockets of tomorrow! Click below to find out more!
Supersonic Research
Aether, our medium-class launcher, reaches supersonic speeds at low altitudes. It features the largest solid motor ever developed by DARE, as well as an active stabilization mechanism to follow the optimal trajectory to success!
