ARIS rocket wins third place at Spaceport America Cup 2021 with HUBER+SUHNER RF connectivity solutions
ARIS has been awarded third position in the most difficult competition category at Spaceport America Cup 2021. Having successfully built its first sounding rocket made to fit a hybrid-propellant engine, it was judged for its performance in real-life conditions against 14 other entries from universities across the world.
The entry from ARIS, named Project PICCARD, demonstrated that a rocket with a 4-kilogram payload can be launched 30,000 feet into the air with all parts safely recovered after flight. Its performance represents both an ecological and economical future of space exploration as all the parts can be reused.
