Hybrid Engine Development

Problems? Not on our watch

But also, don't call me out like that

This week, we built and launched model rockets with school students at the . We also had the opportunity to show them around our workshop and talk about our projects.

Science isn't just about research, it's about sharing your research with the world. We're happy we could attend 2026 and present our research on fiber overwrapped, ablatively cooled liquid engines.

We recently introduced new team members to our winding machine. This machine was developed in-house and upgraded over the years. It is capable of wet winding with dynamic fibre tension and at nearly any fiber angle. Thank you to Taniq for helping us create the G-Code for our most complex parts.

Pictures 7–8: Wet winding of our bowtail using carbon fibre.

Have a look at our N2ORTH-3 Rollout Party we held yesterday, August 05th 2026! The rocket and its avionics, contributed by our awesome friends at , are ready for launch. To our guests, thank you for being there and celebrating this milestone on our way to being the first European student team to break the Kármán line with us!

Our avionics department is hard at work equipping our general-purpose SODIMM PCBs by hand. These modules can communicate with each other via our dual duplex CAN network.

Thank you@unistuttgartirs for letting us use their clean room and pick-and-place equipment.
