Bristol students test their rocket engine with Astron
Astron Systems hosted students from Bristol University's Hypower rocketry team at their test site on Westcott Venture Park last week to test the student's SRAD liquid bipropellant rocket engine, designed for the upcoming EuRoC student rocketry competition. It's a nitrogen pressurised nitrous and IPA 5kN class engine designed to launch their SRAD rocket at EuRoC. The engine performed well, and is expected to be qualified for launch at EuRoC - congratulations to the Bristol students on achieving this milestone!
