Dear readers. Here is, just before the end of the month, finally the new Stratos II newsletter. In this small, concise document you can read about the latest major developments of the Statos II project. This time: The engine tests and the launch site selection.

Sorry to nit pick but your record was broken November last year, only just……40756ft 12.43km by yours truly. Phil Vukovich
Hello Phil
I don’t think we every congratulated you on that launch, but then consider this as so, indeed a fantastic achievement for a sugar based propellant rocket.
We as DARE have never claimed the world record for amateur rocketry, but only the European one (i.e. fully designed, build (incl. engine) and launched by a European group, on European soil). I don’t think we ever considered how we rank in the subclass of sugar based propellants.
Stratos 1 launched to 12.3 km altitude, which with the launch site in Kiruna matches to approximately 12.5km above sea level.
Keep up the good work. We love so see more competition between amateur rocket groups worldwide!
Thank you, would you like to see the raven file?
That would be interesting indeed. You can just sent it to info@projectstratos.nl 😉
